The Tree/MultiTab view is a combination of the standard Tree view and several other standard views, including another Tree view, a Table view, a Properties view, a standard UML view, a Drag/Drop UML view, and other views depending on the selected object.
When you open the Tree/MultiTab view, the tabs are blank. After you select an object in the tree on the left side of the window, the tabs update with information on the selected object. Additional views that apply to the selected object in the Tree view are also added to the right side of the default tabs when you select an object in the main Tree view.
For example, if you select the Document class in the main Tree view, the following occurs on some of the tabs:
-
The Properties tab displays the properties for the Document object in a view that is similar to SmartPlant Foundation.
-
The interfaces and properties for the Document class appear horizontally on the Table (hor) tab.
-
The Editable UML tab displays the UML view for the selected object. You can add other objects to the view by dragging them from the Tree view and dropping them on this tab.
-
The Viewable UML tab displays the default UML view for the Document class. This is the same UML view displayed in the Schema Tree/UML view.
-
The Edit Form tab allows you to edit properties for the object you select in the tree view.
To view a file in the Tree/Multi-tab view, do the following:
-
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).
-
Click Options on the View Schema dialog box.
-
On the View tab, click MultiTab.
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.
-
Click OK.
-
Select an object in the Tree view to see details for the object on the tabs.
-
Move from tab to tab to see different views of the object.
