There is another way as well: use the query facility of Rose. This is how it
is done:
1) create a new class diagram,
2) drag & drop a class of interest to the class diagram.
3) select the class
4) invoke Report>Expand Selected Elements.
5) in the dialog box specify
- the kind of links to traverse
- the scope of the query (no of levels to follow)
6) go
The Expand Selected Elements command will then expand the class diagram with
associated classes and links. This way one may for example generate one
class diagram showing all details of a class together with its immediately
associated classes. It may also be possible just to show the classes that
can be reached by following say at most 3 inheritance links in another class
diagram.
Notice that Rose will keep the diagrams consistent with the underlying model
information. It just reflects a major principle of Rose: that a diagram is
just a (possible) view of the universe of discourse. Other diagrams may show
the universe of discourse from other viewpoints - depending on what is
relevant and what information is important to convey.
