With Smart Modeling, you can easily place multiple satellite objects. The following example shows how to place multiple satellite objects for an object of type Function.
Procedure
Select the object you want to connect with multiple satellite objects. The Insert icons are displayed.
Click the Insert icon of the direction in which you want to place the object. The opens.
The Smart Modeling toolbar provides functionality for the simple and very fast placement of objects. It provides objects that are directly accessible and a search field for finding and placing object symbols that are not listed in the toolbar. Also, you can use the smart object toolbar to create connections to existing objects.
When you place an object using the search field, the symbol of the placed object is added to the list of directly accessible objects for the selected object type.
You can configure the toolbar for each object type so that you always have access to the objects you want to connect.
Click the object symbol shown on the Smart Modeling toolbar you want to place, for example, Role. The object is inserted in the direction you selected the Insert icon and a connection is created to the previously selected object. The name of the new object is selected for renaming.
Select a connection, for example, has consulting role in.
The satellite object is inserted.
Reselect the object you want to connect with multiple satellite objects.
Click the Insert icon in the same direction in which you placed the previous object and click the Application system type object symbol. The object is placed below the satellite that was placed first.
Select a connection, for example, supports.
Reselect the object you want to connect with multiple satellite objects.
Click the Insert icon in the same direction in which you placed the previous object and click the Position object symbol. The object is placed above the other satellites.
Select a connection, for example, carries out. The satellite object is inserted.
With Smart Modeling, you have placed multiple satellites.
