Edit tree diagram

Overview

The Next Design tree diagram provides a tree view of the hierarchical model. The tree diagram allows you to do the following, effectively editing the model hierarchy from the top down:

  • The tree can be collapsed and the hierarchy level to be displayed can be specified to narrow down the display range of the model.
  • The tree nodes are automatically arranged so that you can change the hierarchical structure and the order of the nodes quickly.

The editing operations on the tree diagram are described below in the following order.

  • Add model
  • Move model
  • Fold the tree

Add a model

To add a model as a node in the tree:

Add model

Operating procedure

  1. Drag the entity you want to add from the toolbox as you would an ER diagram.
  2. Drop on the bottom half of the existing model to add the new model as a child of the existing model.
  3. Drop on the right/left half of the existing model to add the new model as a sibling of the existing model.

Move the model

To move the model displayed as a node in the tree to change the hierarchy or change the order, follow these steps:

Move Model

Operating procedure

  1. To move a model to another parent and change the hierarchy, drag the model you want to move and drop it in the lower half of the new parent model.
  2. To change the model order, do one of the following:
    • Drag the model you want to move and drop it on the left or right half of the siblings.
    • Select the model to move and press the Alt+Left Right key.

attention

  • Models in the same hierarchy are displayed separately for each entity, so you cannot move between different entities. The order of entities can be customized in the profile.
  • For a move that changes the hierarchical structure, it can be moved only if the entity to be moved can be added to the destination parent entity.

Fold the tree

To collapse and expand the tree, do the following:

Fold tree

Operating procedure

  1. Click the [+] [-] icons on the tree diagram to switch the expanded state of each child node of the tree.
  2. To change the expansion level of the entire tree at once, click the hierarchy level to expand from [Display]> [Editor]> [Level Filter] on the ribbon.

Note

  • When using [Level Filter] on the ribbon, first click the tree diagram to switch the operation target to the tree diagram.
