You can create a shortcut to another diagram into a data diagram
to allow navigation between related data diagrams. You can use diagram shortcuts
to group diagrams together by subject area.
Follow these steps to add a diagram shortcut to a data diagram.
You can also add a diagram shortcut to a data diagram by clicking and dragging
an existing diagram from the Data Project Explorer onto an open diagram surface.
To
add a diagram shortcut to a data diagram:
- Click Diagram in the palette.
- Click the location in the diagram where you want to add the diagram
shortcut. A new blank diagram shortcut is added to the data
diagram, opens in a new diagram editor, and is displayed in the Data Project
Explorer in the same Diagrams folder as the original
diagram.
- Type a name for the new diagram and modify other properties as
needed in the Properties view.
After you create the diagram shortcut, you can double-click it to
open the diagram that the shortcut references in the diagram editor. You can
also open it from the Data Project Explorer.
