Creating panel diagrams

The following procedure lists the general steps to create and use a panel diagram. References to more specific procedures are noted when necessary.

1. Open your Rhapsody® model with model elements ready for use.
2. Create a panel diagram. Choose Tools > Diagrams > Panel Diagram.
3. Create a control element in your panel diagram; click any of the tools on the panel diagram Diagram Tools.
4. Bind the control to a model element; right-click a control and select Features. Use the Element Binding tab on the Control Properties tab.
5. Make whatever changes you might want for the control; see:
   • Changing the settings for a control element
   • Changing the properties for a control element, when applicable
   • Setting the value bindings for a button array control, when applicable
   • Changing the display name for a control element
6. Set your model for animation.
7. Generate and make your model. Run your application and the animation for the panel diagram. When animation starts, the control on your panel diagram is initiated with its bound model element value.
8. Use your control elements on the animated panel diagram. When animation is running, the Control Properties window and the Display Options window are unavailable.
9. Terminate animation to terminate the use of the control element and exit animation.
