General graphics diagram
A General Graphics Diagram allows you to draw generic diagrams. The items on the diagram can be linked to items in the model.
You can create a General Graphics Diagram through the context menu of a Package: right-click the Package, and select New > Diagram > Proprietary > General Graphics Diagram. Alternatively, if you have configured to display New Diagram in the Quick Access Toolbar, select New Diagram > General Graphics Diagram.
The following sections provide information about how a General Graphics Diagram is used in the model. For more information about an item, property or model part, click it.
