Views Window (Graphical Editors)

The Views window available in graphical editors is used to edit the views for elements in all kinds of block diagrams, including AUTOSAR SWC AUTOSAR software component (singular; plural is SWCs). It is opened via the Views context menu option of a selected diagram element.

The Views window contains the following elements:

• view combo box

  This combo box contains the possible display modes for the selected element in the view named view.

  As line	The element is replaced by one or more lines from the middle to the pins.
  Invisible	The element disappears from the graphic display and can no longer be selected in the drawing area. It is, however, still visible in the Outline tab.
  Contour	Only the contours of the element and possibly the names of the pins are shown. Sequence calls, name, symbol etc. disappear.
  Hide Contents	The screen display is the same as Normal, but the component or hierarchy can no longer be opened from the drawing area. The content of a hierarchy thus marked is left out of the documentation, the content of a component is included in the documentation.
  Normal	Default setting, all available elements (symbols, names, sequence calls etc.) are displayed.
  Use Global Settings (*)	Uses the global setting for this element group; see Making Global Settings for Element Groups.
