Generating OV-2 node connectivity diagrams from OV-5 activity models
Generating OV-2 node connectivity diagrams from OV-5 activity models (MODAF)
Prerequisite 
This utility will generate an OV-2 Node Connectivity diagram from a selected OV-5 Activity Model. The OV-5 diagrams, presented to the user, will only be top-level diagrams (those diagrams without children). The Utility will then retrieve all child diagrams of the selected OV-5 diagram for generation. From the OV-5 Activity Model selected, ICOM Arrows that have Information Exchanges attached will be collected together with their appropriate Source and Destination Activities. From these the appropriate Operational Nodes will be found and placed on the diagram and then connected with the appropriate Needlines based on the Information Exchanges.
Procedure
1 Click Tools > MODAF Utilities.
2 Select OV-5 Activity Model to OV-2.
3 Choose one or more of the diagrams for generation (from each selection a separate OV-2 diagram will be created).
4 Click Run.
5 Enter a name for each diagram that will be created, and then click OK.
Finished product will be an OV-2 diagram(s) with Operational Nodes and Needlines with the appropriate Information Exchanges.
