The simplest way to view the schema in the Schema Editor is the Tree view. The Tree view displays the classes in the top-level nodes. When you expand a class, you can see the relationships defined for the class.

The Tree view is useful for general navigation through relationships, but not for looking at property values. You can navigate all the relationships defined in the schema using the Schema tree view.

For example, in the Schema Tree, you can trace the PIDDrawing class all the way to the relationship definitions for the interfaces it realizes.

However, the schema tree is not a true hierarchy. The Implies relationships in the schema allow you to navigate through the schema almost endlessly.

SHARED Tip Bold text in the tree view represents relationship edges. Relationship edges define paths that go from one point to another point in the data without traversing the entire tree. Blue relationships are relationships across which only limited operations can be performed. For example, adding or deleting relationships is not supported as shortcut menu commands across blue relationship edges whereas they are supported across black relationships.

Blue edges either involve more than one relationship traversal or they involve traversal across special relationships. A special relationship is actually not a relationship at all, but is instead something that the software determines. For example, the Class Definition for an object is not a relationship between the object and its class definition (ClassDef) but is instead something that the software determines through other information.

To view a file in the standard tree view, do the following:

  1. After you open schemas, tool schemas, or data files, click the type of file that you want to view on the View menu. For example, to view the schema, click View > Schema (All).

  2. Click Options on the View Schema dialog box.

  3. On the View tab, click Tree.

    SHARED Tip If you do not see the View tab, the View dialog box is in Simple mode. Select the view that you want to use in the Form list instead.

  4. Click OK.

  5. To traverse the relationships in the Tree view, expand the nodes.
