ASSIGN

The ASSIGN command assign new or existing (symbols that already exist in another diagram) symbol types to new or existing diagram types.

Syntax

SYMBOL symbol-type-name
[IN diagram-type-name1] { ASSIGN [TO] diagram-type-name2 [EMBEDDEDBY] }

ASSIGN symbol-type-name
[IN diagram-type-name1>] [TO] diagram-type-name2 [EMBEDDEDBY]

The EMBEDDEDBY clause indicates, for relationships, that instead of offering a line to draw, the relationship is created by arranging the related node symbols inside one another. The from end of the relationship is the embedded symbol.

Example 1

SYMBOL "Organizational Unit" IN "Organization Chart"
{
ASSIGN TO "Enterprise Direction"
}

Example 2

ASSIGN "Organizational Unit" IN "Organization Chart" TO "Enterprise Direction"
