Reusing Processes

You can reuse a process that already exists in your hierarchy in order to avoid duplicating its functions in your model.

  1. Right-click the process within which you want to reuse the process, and select Reuse Process from the contextual menu. An object selection dialog box opens, which lists all the other processes available in the model.
  2. Select the process that you want to reuse and click OK.

    A shortcut to the selected process is added as a sub-process to the first process.

By default, the symbol of the shortcut displays its target.

A process shortcut is always displayed as an atomic process. You cannot decompose the shortcut or expand its hierarchy, even if its target object has sub-processes.
