Model Diagram Window Toolbar

The toolbar associated with each model diagram is on the right-hand side of the window and looks like this:

Toolbar Button

Purpose

Zoom In

Enlarges the scale of the diagram

Zoom Out

Reduces the scale of the diagram.

Zoom to Fit

Adjusts the scale of the diagram to fit its window as currently sized.

Layout Diagram

Runs an automatic diagram layout function that attempts to position the nodes on the diagram based upon their relationship to other nodes. For large models, this may take up to a minute or more.

The operation is incremental. That is, it only runs for a while and may not produce optimal results. You may run it several times, optionally adjusting its results at each stage, until the result is satisfactory.

Print

Brings up the standard Windows print dialog.

Delete

Deletes all currently selected nodes in the active model.

Save

Saves the active model to its original file. This button is only enabled when the model has been changed but not yet saved.

Find

Brings up the Find Node dialog, which allows you to locate nodes in large models by name or description.

Page Break

Toggles visible page break lines on and off the diagram. These lines and the page numbers that appear within them indicate how the diagram will print, given the capabilities of the current printer and the currently selected print scaling. See the topic Diagram Zoom and Print Scaling for more information.

Diagram Properties

Brings up the Diagram Properties dialog.

Push Model

Will "push" the current version of the model onto the undo stack. See the topic Push and Pop Model for more details.

Pop Model

This toolbar button will "pop" the previous version of the model from the undo stack. See the topic Push and Pop Model for more details.
