Creating a Diagram From Selected Elements

You can create new diagrams by selecting elements from any UML project in the Projects window. You specify the target elements for inclusion in the diagram, and then you complete the New wizard. You do not need to select any corresponding links. The IDE includes links as needed in the new diagram.

To create a new diagram from selected elements or classes:

  1. In the Projects window, click the first element or the package containing the classes to be added to the new diagram.
  2. Press Ctrl and click all remaining elements or classes.
  3. Right-click any one of the selected elements and choose Create Diagram From Selected Elements.
    The IDE opens the New - Create New Diagram wizard.
  4. Select a diagram type.
  5. Type the name of the new diagram.
  6. In the Namespace box, select the name of the target project.
  7. Choose OK.
    The IDE adds the name of the new diagram under the target project node of the Projects window, and displays the new diagram in the Diagram editor.
