Display the model on two screens
Overview
In Next Design, by displaying the main editor and sub-editor side by side, you can view and edit two related models at the same time.
Below, we will explain how to effectively use the dual screen display in the following order.
- Sub-editor display modes and uses
- Simultaneously display the input model
Display modes and uses of the sub-editor
The sub-editor has the following display modes, and the model displayed in the sub-editor is automatically switched in conjunction with the state of the main editor.
| Display Mode | Sub-editor display target model | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | Any model specified in the sub-editor | Fix a specific model to the sub-editor and browse/edit any model in the main editor |
| Detail | Model component selected in the main editor | View and edit individual models in the sub-editor while overlooking the design range in the main editor |
| Details (types) | Model components specified for the type of lifeline or message selected in the sequence diagram | Browse the type information of the lifeline or message in the sub-editor while designing the sequence diagram in the main editor do |
| Input (Deep Blue) | The model from which the model in the main editor is derived | Edit the model to be designed in the main editor and view the input model for that design in the sub-editor |
| Output | Models derived from models in the main editor | View post-process models designed with the model in the main editor as input in the sub-editor |
| Same as the main | The model edited in the main editor | While designing the structure in the diagram, describe individual design items in the form |
Display the input model simultaneously
As an example, when designing a "component structure model" in the main editor, to display the "use case model" in the previous process, which is the design input, in the sub-editor, follow the steps below.
Operation procedure
- Select the "component structure model" to be designed in the model navigator and display it in the main editor.
- Click View > Pane > Sub Editor from the ribbon to display the sub-editor.
- If you select [Input (Deep Blue)] from the [Switch display mode] pull-down list at the top of the sub-editor, [Use case model] will be displayed in the sub-editor as a model that can be used as an input.
- If there are multiple models that can be input, select the model to be displayed in the sub-editor from the pull-down list that is additionally displayed to the right of the [Switch display mode] pull-down list.
- To swap the positions of the main editor and sub-editor left and right, click [View] > [Pane] > [Swap Left and Right] from the ribbon.
note
- In the display modes [Input (Deep Blue)] and [Output], the model to be displayed in the sub-editor is determined based on the derived relationships between the models defined in the profile.
- If there are multiple models corresponding to [Input (Deep Blue)] or [Output], they will be narrowed down as candidates and one of them will be displayed in the sub-editor. Please reselect the model to be displayed from the candidates if necessary.
caution
- Selecting Input (Deep Blue) or Output in display mode has no effect if no derived relationships are defined in the profile.
