Adding Arcs
The procedure for adding an Arc or Arcs uses the same principle as with
adding Nodes. The procedure is as follows:
- Select the "Add Arc" button at the right of the
Meta Model Builder dialog. Once pressing the
button, an Arc item shall appropriately be placed into the branch of the
tree list on the left of the dialog.
- The central area may change appearance, depending on the previous action
performed in the dialog. The central area will temporarily set the name of
the newly added Arc to Arc#, where '#' is the number of the Arc
Added, corresponding to the Arc number on the tree listing. The user may
change the name of the Arc, and add properties for the Arc where necessary.
Refer to the Adding Properties or
Removing Properties sections below for
more specific details regarding the addition or removal of properties
for specific items.
- Pressing the "Add" button will commit the details of the Arc
to the list.
- If all items have been added, the user may press 'OK' from the Dialog
Control Area to close down the Meta Model Builder. Otherwise, to Add other
Items, select the appropriate button from the Dialog Control Area, or press
'Cancel' to ignore any changes made in the Meta Model Builder.
