2 screen display of model

Overview

In Next Design, you can view and edit two related models at the same time by displaying the main editor and sub editor side by side.

Below, we will explain the effective use of the split screen display in the following order.

• Sub editor display mode and usage
• Display input models simultaneously

Sub editor display mode and usage

The sub editor has the following display modes, and the model displayed in the sub editor is automatically switched according to the state of the main editor.

Display Mode	Display model of sub editor	Use
Manual	Arbitrary model specified in sub-editor	Pin a specific model to sub-editor and browse/edit any model in main editor
Detail	Model component selected in the main editor	While viewing the design range in the main editor, browse and edit individual models in the sub editor
Input	Model from which the model of the main editor is derived	Edit the model to be designed in the main editor and browse the model that is the input of the design in the sub-editor
Output	Model derived from the model of main editor	Browse the model of post-process designed with the model of main editor as input
Same as main	Model being edited in main editor	While designing structure in diagram, describe individual design items in form

Display input model simultaneously

As an example, when designing the "component structure model" in the main editor, to display the "use case model" of the previous process, which is the input of the design, in the sub editor, follow the steps below.

Operating procedure

1. Select the "Component Structure Model" to be designed in the Model Navigator to display it in the main editor.
2. Click Display> Pane> Sub Editor from the ribbon to display the sub editor.
3. When you select [Input] from the [Display mode switching] pull-down list at the top of the sub editor, [Use case model] is displayed in the sub editor as a model that can be input.
4. If there are multiple models that can be input, select the model to be displayed in the sub editor from the pull-down list that is added to the right of the [Switch display mode] pull-down list.
5. To swap the left and right positions of the main and sub editors, from the ribbon, click Display> Pane> Swap Left and Right.

Note

• In the display mode [Input] and [Output], the model to be displayed in the sub editor is determined based on the derived relation between the models defined in the profile.
• If there are multiple models corresponding to [Input] and [Output], they will be narrowed down as candidates and one of them will be displayed in the sub editor. If necessary, select the model to display again from the candidates.

attention

• If the profile does not define a derived relationship, selecting Input or Output in view mode will not work.
