Get environment
This function allows you to load the predecessors (referenced entity types linked via relationships or generalizations) and/or successors (dependent entity types linked via relationships or specializations) into the graphic.
...
1. Select one or more entity types for which you want to load the environment.
2. Choose Utilities → Get environment and one of the functions: Predecessors, Successors or Predec. + successors.
3. If no predecessors or successors are found, a message informing you of this is displayed.
If only one predecessor or successor is found, it is displayed directly on the graphic.
If multiple predecessors/successors are found, the screen Get Environment: Select Entity Types appears, showing a list for preselection. Select the predecessors/successors that you want to include in the graphic.
4. Choose Transfer to include the selected predecessors/successors in the graphic. You are returned to the graphic. The predecessors/successors that were transferred are now displayed.
Hide
To remove entity types from the graphic display you can use the Hide function. (The entity types are not physically deleted.)
