Navigating Composite Element Diagram Hierarchy

[fwoolz]

Hi all,

Is there a simple way the navigate up and down the document hierarchy associated with a composite element, something akin to moving up and down a directory hierarchy in Windows Explorer?  If not, I would suggest adding this feature.  I sometimes have several composite elements & their sub-diagrams open simultaneously, which creates a cluttered tab list; moving from parent to child diagram and back can become cumbersome in such situations.

Cheers,

I place the parent diagram in the child as a hyperlink.

Bruce,

That will certainly work, but I was thinking more along the lines of an "up arrow" kind of toolbar button (or equivalent menu / context menu option) that would allow movement back up the diagram chain.  If you've ever worked with something like OrCAD Schematic Capture and built hierarchical blocks with sub-schematics, you'll appreciate the convenience of such a feature.  UML models are conceptually analogous, particularly when there are diagrams nested within elements within diagrams within elements... you no doubt get the picture.

Cheers,
