Go To Functionality

Use the following steps to become familiar with the Go To functionality.

  1. Open one of your existing models or create a new model with some entities, relationships, and shape objects.
  2. Press CTRL+G to launch the Go To dialog. Observe that this dialog now contains a complete listing of all the model objects in your model. Toggle the ‘Show Drawing Objects in List’ check box (top right corner of the dialog) to hide/unhide the drawing objects. Enter some text in the Enter filter text field, to filter the list of objects based upon the text entered.
  3. Select an entity, relationship, or shape object from the list and click the Go To button. Observe that the focus moves to the selected object on the diagram area. Feel free to explore the other commands on the toolbar. Close the Go To dialog.
  4. Right-click any entity or relationship in the diagramming area, and click Go To Model Explorer from the context menu. Observe that the same entity or relationship is selected in the Model Explorer.
