Diagram navigation
There are several ways that you can navigate a collection of diagrams, using keyboard shortcuts or by double-clicking diagram elements.
Double-clicking elements
You can double-click diagram elements to either "zoom-in" and navigate to the next level in the
hierarchy, or open the resource that is configured by the element's url
property.
Zoom-in
Elements with a zoom-in are marked with a + symbol.
- Software System: Double-clicking a software system will either take you to the System Context or Container diagram for that software system, if one exists.
- Container: Double-clicking a container will take you to the first Component diagram for that container, if one exists.
Hyperlink
If no "zoom-in" is available for the selected element, double-clicking that element will take you to the
linked resource that has been specified via the element's url
property.
This is indicated by a # symbol.
If an element has both a "zoom-in" and a hyperlink set (+#), double-clicking the element will zoom-in, and double-clicking with the Alt
key pressed will open the hyperlink.
Double-clicking relationships
You can double-click relationships (hold the Alt
key while in the diagram editor) to open the resource that is configured by the relationship's url
property.
This is indicated by a # symbol.
