Tool Support and Operations
Operations on endpoints and links are supported in the Organizer, the diagram editors, the Text Editor and the Link Manager.
In the editors, the possible operations are identical and can be found in the Link submenu of the Tools menu (see Link Commands in the Tools Menus). The operations include:
- Creating and deleting an endpoint
- Creating and deleting a link
- Traversing a link (bringing the other endpoint into view)
- Opening the Link Manager
In the Organizer, the available operations in the Tools menu are limited to creating and deleting an endpoint, and opening the Link Manager.
In the editors, it is also possible to open the Entity Dictionary from the Window menu. The Entity Dictionary lists all endpoints in the system, together with the documents making up the Organizer structure. It is mainly intended for re-use of entity names, but also supports creating links. See The Entity Dictionary.
The Link Manager shows all endpoints and links in the system. It supports the following main operations:
- File operations on the link file
- Creating and deleting links
- Editing a link's direction, name and comment
- Performing consistency checks on endpoints and links
It is not possible to create and delete endpoints in the Link Manager. For more information about the Link Manager, see The Link Manager.
