Use the content list to make elements visible or not visible
When you are navigating a model diagram using the content list on the left, you can control which elements appear in the Architecture tab.
Procedure
- Open the model or working context you want to view.
- Click the Architecture tab.
- In the content list on the left, at a single level, click next to an element to list the children in the list.
- Drill down to lower levels by continuing to click next to each successive child.
- Click the thumbnail for an element in the list to switch between displaying or not displaying it in the diagram.
When an element is selected to display in the diagram, the thumbnail appears enabled next to it in the list. When the thumbnail is grayed out in the list, the element is not shown in the diagram.
