Views

In the ASCET block diagram editor, block diagram software component editor, state machine editor and project editor, so-called views exist. Automatic documentation and diagrams can be designed differently in different views by hiding parts of the information.

Views can be set up individually. The settings include global and element-specific options for presentation in the block diagram or state machine editor and for automatic documentation.

The following information can be shown/hidden globally:

Sequence calls and connectors
Method names for method-local elements, process names for process-local elements
Graphical comments (see also Adding and Editing a Comment)
A default representation can be defined for various element groups for each view (e.g., all cont parameters are displayed as line).

The element-specific settings are described in Editing the Views of a Diagram Item.

When a view is selected, all global and element-specific settings become active. A diagram's representation in the editor conforms to its representation in the documentation.

If desired, a view configuration can be specified that is used as default for newly created databases/workspaces, see Creating and Using a Default View Configuration.
