Reusable diagrams

Same diagram – multiple sets of objects

As an operator you may come across reusable diagrams. This special type of diagram allows the system designer to show multiple sets of objects on the same diagram. When you activate a reusable diagram either from the Diagram menu or from a button, the Choose Objects to Display dialogue appears.

Select the set of objects you want to show and click OK.

The title bar of the reusable diagram

When a specific set of objects has been selected, the diagram appears showing the name of the set in the title bar.

To choose another set of objects, press F5 or choose the name of the diagram in the Diagram menu.

Reference to reusable diagram

The system designer can choose to link directly to one of the sets of objects available. The operator will thus click a button with the name of the set and go straight to the reusable diagram without seeing the Choose Objects to Display dialogue. The only indication that this is a reusable diagram is the name of the set in the title bar.
