The dependency links (for example, generation, mappings, shortcuts, and so on) shown in a project diagram are automatically generated when you add linked models to it. You cannot manually create them.
Models that are included in the project, but which are not displayed in the project diagram will not be added nor have their links represented when you rebuild dependency links.
Note: Note
Models must be present in the project diagram before you can rebuild their dependency links.
The following example shows models in a project diagram connected by a variety of dependency links:
You can explore the details of any of the dependency links in your diagram by right-clicking it and selecting Show Dependencies. Each type of link has its own viewer:
- Generation – displays the generation links between models in the Generation Links Viewer (see Core Features Guide > Linking and Synchronizing Models > Generating Models and Model Objects).
- Mapping – displays the mapping links between models in the Mapping Editor (see Core Features Guide > Linking and Synchronizing Models > Object Mappings).
- Reference – displays the shortcuts and replications between models in the Shortcuts and Replications dialog box (see Core Features Guide > Linking and Synchronizing Models > Shortcuts and Replicas).
