Navigating through UML Sequence Diagrams

Runtime Tracing for C and C++

There are several ways of moving around the UML sequence diagrams displayed by the UML/SD Viewer:

  • Navigation Panel: Click and drag the Navigation button in the lower right corner of the UML/SD Viewer window to scroll through a miniature navigation pane representing the entire UML sequence diagram.

  • Free scroll: Press the Control key and the left mouse button simultaneously. This displays a compass icon, allowing you to scroll the UML sequence diagram in all direction by the moving the mouse.

  • Report Explorer: The Report Explorer is automatically activated when the UML/SD Viewer is activated. The Report Explorer offers a hierarchical view of instances. Click an item in the Report Explorer to locate and select the corresponding UML representation in the main UML/SD Viewer window.

Some elements in the sequence diagram provide links to the corresponding line in the source code. For example, if you click a message in a sequence diagram, the text editor opens the corresponding source file in the text editor.

Note If the source file is already open, it is not brought forward.
