Place fragment

You can use fragments to easily place arrangements of objects, connections, graphic objects, and groupings in a model.

Procedure

  1. In the Fragments bar, click the fragment you want to place.
  2. Move the mouse pointer to the position in the modeling area at which you want to place the fragment. The modeling area provides you with a preview of the arrangement of objects in the fragment to show you how much room the fragment items will take up in the model.
  3. Click the relevant position in the modeling area.

The fragment items are placed in the model. The item names match the names you assigned to the original items.

Tip

To place the same fragment multiple times, hold down the Ctrl key and click the relevant positions one after the other.

If you want to use existing database objects as objects for the placed fragment, enter at least two characters from the name attribute for the relevant object and click Browse for definition selection. The Select object dialog opens.
