Quick Buttons


The following quick buttons are special to the Organizer's Main window. The general quick buttons are described in "General Quick-Buttons" on page 24. Each quick button in the Organizer has a preference parameter that specifies if the button is shown or hidden; see "Organizer Preferences" on page 246. As default, all quick buttons except New and Add Existing are shown.

New

Creates a new system; see "New" on page 59.

Save

Performs a silent Save All of all diagrams including the system file. Does not bring up the Save dialog, except if diagrams are modified and unconnected, or no system file exists. Corresponds to the Save All button in the Save dialog; see "Save" on page 62.

Print

Brings up the Print dialog, see chapter 5, Printing Documents and Diagrams.

Analyze

Analyzes the part of the system defined by the selected diagram or the whole system. Brings up a Save Before dialog if any diagram is modified and not saved. Does not bring up the Analyze dialog. Corresponds to the Analyze button in the Analyze dialog. The current Analyze options are used. The same restrictions and checks apply as described in "Analyze" on page 112.

Make

Makes the part of the system defined by the selected diagram or the whole system, i.e. generates code, compiles and links it. Does not bring up the Make dialog. Corresponds to the Make button in the Make dialog. The current Analyze and Make options are used. The same restrictions and checks apply as described in "Make" on page 120.

Generate SDL Overview

Generates an SDL overview diagram for the selected diagram or the whole system. Does not bring up the SDL Overview dialog. Corresponds to the Generate button in the Generate SDL Overview dialog. The current Generate SDL Overview options are used. The same restrictions and checks apply as described in "SDL Overview" on page 128.

Simulate

Generates a simulator for the part of the system defined by the selected diagram or the whole system, and starts a Simulator UI (see "Simulator/Explorer UI Started from Quick Buttons" on page 183). Does not bring up the Make dialog if the simulator needs to be regenerated. If a simulation kernel has not been selected in this dialog, the default simulation kernel is used. The default simulation kernel is determined by the preference Organizer*DefaultSimulator. The default value is "SCTADEBCOM" which is the same as using the standard kernel Simulation in the Make dialog. The same restrictions and checks apply as described in "Make" on page 120.

Explore

Generates an SDL Explorer for the part of the system defined by the selected diagram or the whole system, and starts an Explorer UI (see "Simulator/Explorer UI Started from Quick Buttons" on page 183). Does not bring up the Make dialog if the explorer needs to be regenerated. If a validation kernel has not been selected in this dialog, the default validation kernel is used. The default validation kernel is determined by the preference Organizer*DefaultExplorer. The default value is "SCTAVALIDATOR" which is the same as using the standard kernel Validation in the Make dialog. The same restrictions and checks apply as described in "Make" on page 120.

Generate Cross References

Generates a cross reference file for the current system and presents the information in the Index Viewer. An index symbol is added in the Organizer view. Does not bring up the Analyze dialog. Corresponds to setting the Generate a cross reference file option in this dialog. The same restrictions and checks apply as described in "Analyze" on page 112 and "Semantic analysis" on page 115.

Add New

Adds a new document as root; see "Add New" on page 89.

Add Existing

Adds an existing document as root; see "Add Existing" on page 90.

Move Down

Moves the selected symbol one step down in the Organizer structure. For more information about moving symbols, see "Ordering" on page 55.

Moves down the selected page. For more information about moving pages, see "Move down" on page 2038 in chapter 43, Using the SDL Editor and "Move down" on page 1684 in chapter 39, Using Diagram Editors.

Move Up

Moves the selected symbol one step up in the Organizer structure. For more information about moving symbols, see "Ordering" on page 55.

Moves up the selected page. For more information about moving pages, see "Move up" on page 2037 in chapter 43, Using the SDL Editor and "Move up" on page 1684 in chapter 39, Using Diagram Editors.

Toggle Pages

Shows or hides page symbols below diagram symbols in the Organizer structure.

Organizer Log

Opens the Organizer Log window; see "Organizer Log" on page 143.

Simulator/Explorer UI Started from Quick Buttons

When the Simulate quick button is used and if the generated simulator already was loaded in a Simulator UI, the same Simulator UI will be reused for the newly generated simulator. If no Simulator UI is active, a new Simulator UI will be started. However, if there already are other started Simulator UI's, the user has the choice of selecting one of these to load the generated simulator in.

The following dialog is opened:

The same applies also for an SDL Explorer and the Explorer UI.
