Text diagram
A Text Diagram allows you to record textual information. A Text Diagram supports rich text, so you can include references to dictionary items through model object references. For more information about rich text, see Overview of rich text.
You can create a Text Diagram through the context menu of a Model, Package, Class, Data Type, Interface or Signal:
• Right-click the Model or Package, and select New > Diagram > Proprietary > Text Diagram.
• Right-click the Class, Data Type, Interface or Signal, and select New > Text Diagram.
• If you have configured to display New Diagram in the Quick Access Toolbar, select New Diagram > General Flow Diagram
Note that when a Text Diagram is opened as read-only, you can lock the Text Diagram for editing by clicking the Lock Diagram for Edit button on the Format tab.
