Interacting with a block instance
To select a block instance you need to left click somewhere within its display element other than inside its parameters table. For example, clicking on its name or on the table’s column heading will select the block instance.
Once a block is selected,
You can delete it by pressing
Del, or by clicking on the
icon in the toolbar.
If any rules’ condition or action parts refer to any feed, field, parameter or operation of the block instance you have removed, the references will be reverted back to their non-terminals. This will make those rules, and therefore the enclosing states and the scenario, unfinished.
You can move the instance’s relative position in the tab by clicking on the
and
icons in the tab’s toolbar.
You can browse the instance’s block template definition in the
Catalogs tab by clicking on the
icon in the tab’s toolbar.
You can switch all references in rules and mappings from this block to another block by clicking on the
icon. This operation is described in more detail later.
Event Modeler displays a dotted blue border around each state that uses the selected block.
Another way to see which states use a particular block is to click that block in a rule. Event Modeler displays a dotted blue outline around the states that use the selected block.
