Creating folders

Folders, or directories, help physically organize files. A folder must be nested within a component or another folder. A folder can contain files or folders.

Procedure

  1. Click the Folder tool.
  2. Do one of the following actions:
    1. Click once in the diagram to create a folder with the default dimensions.
    2. Click to begin the upper, left corner of the folder, drag to the lower, right corner, and release.
  3. Edit the default name, then press Enter.

Results

The new folder is displayed in the diagram and in the browser under the component or folder with which it is associated.

Note: A folder must be nested within a component or another folder. If the component diagram is under the project node, it is not yet associated with a component. You must first create a component, inside of which you can then draw a folder. If the diagram is already nested under an existing component, you can draw the folder in the "free space" of the diagram editor; it is nested within the component associated with the diagram and is displayed accordingly in the browser.

In the browser, folders are located under the components of which they are part.
