Finding element references

The References feature enables you to find out where the specified element is used in the model.

Procedure

  2. Select Edit > References. The Relations window opens, listing the locations of the element in the model.
    Relations window

Results

If the element is not used anywhere in the model other than in the browser, IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® displays a message stating that the element is not referenced by any element.

References option returns only model elements that actually reference the specified element; it does not return references to the textual name of the element. To do a text-based search for the element name, use the search and replace functionality described in Searching in the model.

Note: You can also display the list of references by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+R.
