In order to create a new element in a diagram, a diagram must be opened first. The pallet contains the different types of elements available for creation depending on the diagram type. The list of available elements varies from one diagram type to another.
Procedure for Creating Element from Pallet:
1. | Select an element type to create from the pallet. |
2. | Click a location in the diagram area to create the element. (Drag the mouse to select an area to specify the size of the new element. If creating an element that connects two elements together, ensure that the connection is made accurately.) |
Procedure for Creating Multiple Elements in One Go:
1. | Select an element type to create from the pallet. |
2. | Click the [Lock] item in the pallet or click the element to create once again. |
3. | Create multiple elements. |
4. | Click the item in the pallet when creating elements is complete. |
Note
· | Creating an element in the diagram from the pallet actually involves creating a model element and its view element. |
