Showing object dependencies

You can find objects that depend on other objects, or show the dependencies of a child object.

You cannot show dependencies for parameter maps.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Viewer, click an object.
  2. Click Tools, Show Object Dependencies.

    The objects that depend on the selected object display under Dependent objects.

  3. To show the object identifier for the dependent objects, select the Show Object ID check box.
  4. If the object has children and you want to see the dependencies for a child object, click the plus sign (+) beside the object that contains the child object.
  5. Click a child object under the parent object.

    The objects that depend on the child object display under Dependent objects.

  6. Optional: You can also show object dependencies in the following way:
    • In the Project Viewer, right-click an object and select Show Object Dependencies.
    • In the Context Explorer window, right-click an object and select Show Object Dependencies.
