After creating a table from an extended table layout, you
might want to add new element types to the table.
Procedure
- On the Table/Matrix drawing toolbar, click Add
model element.
- On the Add new element window, select
a choice from the Element type list. This
list is made up of your selections on the Element Types tab
of the Features window for the extended table layout.
- Select a choice from the To Element type list.
- Select a choice from the To Element list.
- Select the actual element that is to be the "to" part of the created
relation.
- The list is populated with the list of elements in the table view
(that corresponds to the table layout) that defined the scope that
matches the selected "to element type" metaclass.
- For tables with selected element types based on links:
Select a choice from the Via Port list. The list is populated with the list of ports in the table view
(that corresponds to the table layout) that defined the scope that
matches the selected "to element type" metaclass.
- Click OK. This button
is enabled only if what you have entered is possible for the table.
Clicking OK:
- Creates a new relation element and appends a new line to the table
when the selected line already represents a model element.
- Creates a new relation element and populates its data into the
selected line when the selected line represents a potential model
element.
Results
The revised table displays the new element automatically.
