Common Link Context Commands

The context menus of the various link elements provide functions specific to each link. Explore the context menus of the different link elements as you encounter them to see the commands available for each one.

However, for the most part, all of the link elements share common context menu commands. To use the context menu for a link, simply right click on the link in the Diagram view.

Each link has the following common context menu commands:

Scroll to Source

If the required end of the link is out of reach, choose Scroll to Source to scroll to the client end of the link.

Scroll to Destination

If the required end of the link is out of reach, choose Scroll to Destination to scroll to the supplier end of the link.

Select in Model Tree

The Select in Model Tree command highlights the node selected in the UML Navigator tree-view. The UML Navigator will expand and highlight that element in the tree-view. If closed, the UML Navigator will open. For more information, see Using Select in Model Tree.

Delete

The Delete command will delete the element from the project. A Confirmation dialog opens to confirm the deletion.

Hyperlinks

The Hyperlinks command offers a submenu with the following options:

Edit

Using Edit, you can view, add, and remove hyperlinks to a project. For more information on hyperlinks, see Working with Hyperlinks.

<Hyperlink>

<Hyperlink> represents an actual hyperlinked element. In the example shown above, Activity is a hyperlinked element. If there are no hyperlinks for the diagram, then only the Edit option displays.

Hide

Individual elements can be hidden in diagrams using the Hide command. If you do not see an element in a diagram, choose Hide / Show from the Diagram context menu and check the hidden elements list.

Properties

Using the Properties command opens the Properties view for the current element. For more information, see Using the Properties View.
