Opening and Closing Diagrams
When you open a UML Modeling project, all its diagrams are closed. You can work with a diagram and its elements only when the diagram is open. This can be useful in managing system resources.
To open a diagram, do one of the following:
- In the Projects window, double-click the diagram node or any of its element nodes.
- In the Projects window, right-click the diagram node and choose Open.
- Each diagram you open in the Diagram editor has its own tabbed pane.
To view two diagrams at the same time:
- Select a diagram tab and drag it to another location in the IDE.
- Size each diagram's pane for your convenience.
- The IDE can display two or more diagrams above and below each other, or side by side.
To close a single diagram, do one of the following:
- In the Projects window, right-click the diagram and choose Close.
- In the Diagram editor, click the dismiss button (x) on the diagram tab.
- In the Diagram editor, right-click the diagram tab and choose Close Window.
To close a selection of open diagrams:
- In the Projects window, select the nodes of the diagrams you want to close.
- Right-click and choose Close.
The IDE presents a confirmation dialog box for each diagram that has been edited, then closes all the selected diagrams.
To close all but a particular diagram:
- In the Diagram editor, select the diagram you want to stay open.
- Right-click the diagram tab and choose Close Other Documents.
To close all open diagrams:
- Right-click any diagram tab and choose Close All.
The IDE closes all open diagrams.
