You can access the diagram editor's functionality in either of the
following ways:
- Toolbars
- Mouse movements on symbols in the activity diagram
Process Designer Express has pull-down menus from which you initiate many
of the diagram-related operations. There are keystroke shortcuts and
context menus for some of these functions. For detailed information
about these menus, see Process Designer Express menus.
The diagram editor recognizes the following mouse movements:
- Click the left mouse button to select a component or
symbol in an activity diagram.
The diagram editor surrounds the symbol with grey anchor squares, called
the
selection border, to indicate that the symbol is selected.
To deselect the
symbol, click elsewhere in the workspace.
- Click the right mouse button to select and bring up a context menu for the
symbol.
The
context menu contains the following options:
- Properties--Displays the appropriate
Symbol Properties dialog for the selected symbol. Same as the
Properties option of the Edit menu. For more information, see the
description of the Properties option in Functions of the Edit menu.
- Font--Controls the font in which the
symbol text displays. Same as the Font option of the Edit menu.
For more information, see the description of the Font option in Functions of the Edit menu.
- Click the right mouse button anywhere within an activity diagram (but not
on a specific symbol) to navigate to the activity diagram's
parent diagram.
