Populating a constraints diagram automatically
Modeler allows you to build up a Constraints Diagram automatically, by populating the diagram with information from the dictionary. You can populate from a selected item, or you can populate the diagram as a whole.
To populate the diagram with missing links:
1. Right-click in free space on the Constraints Diagram.
2. From the menu, point to Populate, and then click Links.
The diagram is populated with any links that exist between constraints and types on the diagram.
To populate the diagram with dictionary items:
1. Right-click in free space on the Constraints Diagram.
2. From the menu, point to Populate, and then click Constraints or Constraint Types.
The diagram is populated with all constraints or constraint types that exist in the dictionary.
To populate the diagram for a selected constraint or type:
1. Right-click the constraint or type on the diagram.
2. From the menu, point to Populate, and then click Constraints or Constraint Types.
The diagram is populated with constraints or constraint types linked to your selected item in the dictionary.
To populate the diagram with links to a selected constraint or constraint type:
1. Right-click the item on the diagram.
2. From the menu, point to Populate, and then click Links.
The diagram is populated with links associated with your constraint or constraint type in the dictionary.
