Navigator Toolbar

The Navigator toolbar identifies the location of the Package you are currently working in, and provides options to change the focus to another level of the Package's branch, perform relevant operations on the Package, and locate other Packages in the model.

Click on this icon to move one level further up the location path, to the current Package's parent Package.

 

 

downpackpath

Click on this icon to move one level further down the Package's location path, to the first child Package under the current Package.

 

 

PackagePath

Displays a 'breadcrumb trail' of branch nodes under which the current Package is located. You can continue to expand the 'breadcrumb' path to show a branch of the child Packages contained within the current Package.

A double chevron (<<)  to the left of the Package path indicates that you have explored the Package branch to several levels below the current Package, and it is out of view to the left. Click on the chevron to display the current Package again.

You can change the current Package by clicking on the black arrows and selecting a different node or child Package from the drop-down list. At each node you can also open any of the diagrams listed.

As you select a Package or diagram, that branch of the Project Browser is expanded  and the Package or diagram you select is highlighted. This also sets the context for any tools and utilities you open to work on a Package.
