You can use the Operational Node to OV-2 utility to generate OV-2 Operational Node Connectivity diagrams from an existing Operational Node. The utility locates the appropriate Operational Nodes and generates the symbols on the diagram, connected with the appropriate Needlines.

Prerequisite

There must be an existing OV-2 diagram with Operational Nodes and Needlines.

Procedure

1 Click Tools > DoDAF (ABM) Utilities > Operational Node to OV-2.

2 In the list of Operational Nodes in the current encyclopedia, select one or more definitions.

3 Click Run.

4 Type a name for each diagram to be created.

5 Click OK.

An OV-2 Operational Node Connectivity diagram is generated with Operational Node symbols and their corresponding Needlines.
