The Model Explorer Shortcut Menu

When you right-click on an object in the Model Explorer, a shortcut menu displays that lists the options available for that object, similar to the following example:

Model Explorer Shortcut Menu--New Object Selection

To control the topological display of Domains, right‑click on a Domain and select how you want to sort the Domains.

Model Explorer Shortcut Menu--Domain Sorting

You can also delete an object or invoke the property editor for the object. If semantics do not allow the deletion of an object (such as a Primary Key object), then the Delete menu item on the shortcut menu does not appear.

If you want to create a new object, and additional information is required to complete the creation of that object (such as a Relationship), a dialog box appears in which you must enter the information required.
