10.2. Mouse Behavior in the Explorer

Behavior of the mouse in general, and the naming of the buttons is covered in the chapter on the overall user interface (see Chapter 7, User Interface Reference).

10.2.1. Button 1 Click

Within the hierarchical display, elements which have sub-hierarchies are indicated by when the hierarchy is hidden and when the hierarchy is open.

Button 1 click over the name of any diagram artifact will cause the diagram to be selected and displayed in the editing pane. Its details will also be displayed in the details pane.

Button 1 click over the name of any artifact other than a diagram in the main area of the explorer will cause it to be selected, and its details shown in the details pane. If the artifact is part of a diagram currently displayed in the editing pane, it will be highlighted there.

[Note]Note

If the artifact is part of a diagram other than that currently displayed in the Editing Pane, there will be no change of diagram in the Editing Pane.
