Create a New Diagram Set
When the Diagram Set Editor is opened, a new “empty” Diagram Set is automatically opened. If the editor is currently displaying a Diagram Set, select the New Diagram File Set option to clear the screen:
If the current Diagram Set has not been saved, you will be prompted to save it, and if required assign it a file name and specify its location.
To construct a new Diagram Set, the diagram XML files that are to comprise the Diagram Set must be selected.
To add a single file or multiple files to a new Diagram Set, select the Add Diagrams option:
The Open dialog is then displayed:
Browse for and select the XML file or files of the diagrams to add to the Diagram Set, and click Open. The default import file location is specified on the File Locations tab of the User Options dialog (refer to Set Default Import Location).
The selected file or files is then displayed in the diagram list section of the Diagram Set editor (see below for details of the diagram list section).
To add all the valid XML diagrams within a folder to the file set, select the Add All Files in a Folder option:
A folder browser is then displayed. Browse for the required folder and click OK.
All XML files in the folder that are in the correct format, plus all files listed in Diagram Sets that are in that folder, are then added to the diagram list.
Notes:
•
If an existing Diagram Set is selected or is in a selected folder, its files are added to the current Diagram Set (its release comments are not included).
•
If a text file containing a list of files is selected or is in a selected folder to process, all the files listed will be added to the Diagram Set.
•
If files cannot be added then the user is informed via a warning message, for example if a file could not be found or is not valid.
•
The Add All Files options does not include any subfolders within the selected folder, only files.
•
The diagram name attribute in the schematic database has a maximum length of 50 characters. Diagram names in the schematic database begin with a “/” character. If a diagram name in an import file does not begin with a “/” character, then Schematic Model Manager adds one to the beginning of the diagram name on import.
•
Diagram names in import files may therefore be no more than 50 characters, if the diagram name begins with a “/” character, or no more than 49 characters if the diagram name does not begin with a “/” character. If these lengths are exceeded then the file will not be added to the file set. A message will be displayed to inform the user of this.
When all the required files have been selected, save the new Diagram Set by selecting the Save Diagram Set option:
A save dialog is then displayed. Specify the name and location of the Diagram Set and click Save.
