Linking a Diagram

You can link one diagram to another diagram through the note icon. This feature works somewhat like the shortcut method you may be familiar with in the Windows operating environment. Once the diagram is linked, you can double-click the note and the linked diagram is immediately displayed. A linked diagram is indicated by underlined text in the note.

1 Create a note on any diagram.

2 Display the browser if not already visible.

3 In the browser, locate the diagram that you want to link.

4 Drag the diagram icon from the browser onto the note icon on the diagram.

As you position the cursor onto the note, you will see the shortcut symbol (a dotted square and a curved arrow inside a solid square). Also, the fully qualified name is displayed in an underline font.

Note: You may need to resize the note to see the entire name.

5 Change the text in the note (if desired) to something more meaningful to your project.

6 Double-click the note to view the linked diagram.
