Creating, opening, changing, and deleting diagrams
The process of creating and modifying diagrams in System Architect involves creating or opening a diagram of a specific type, drawing symbols and lines on the surface of the diagram, and adding definitions to each of the symbols and lines drawn.
Creating diagrams
1 Click File > New Diagram, or click the New Diagram icon.
2 Click the desired diagram type.
3 Type the name of the diagram, up to 80 characters, in the Name text box.
You can delete a diagram through the File menu or through the Explorer. Deleting a diagram will also delete the symbols on that diagram, but not the underlying definitions of those symbols. The definitions must be deleted separately.
To delete a diagram through the File menu
1 With the diagram open, select File, Delete Diagram.
2 In the System Architect Delete Options dialog, you can select Preview, or press Yes to delete the diagram without previewing.
