Wire Sheet view

Workbench has a Wire Sheet Relation mode when selected component relations are displayed on the wire sheet. This option can be selected by any of the following methods:

• Workbench Tools > Options > Wire Sheet > Show Relations

  
  
  

• In a Wire Sheet view, select Wire Sheet > Show Relations

  
  
  

• On the Workbench Tool Bar, click the Show Relations icon

  
  
  

When invoked, the Wire Sheet Relation mode displays relations of the selected component as either of the following:

• On-sheet relations

  This situation exists when both components of a relationship are present on the current wire sheet, the relation is shown as a dashed line connecting the two components. The Relation Id is in the name of the colored bar of the component glyph. The relation line exits the right side of the subject (outbound relation component) and enters the left side of the object (inbound relation component).

  
  
  

• Off-sheet relations

  This situation exists when the other component of a relationship is NOT present on the current wire sheet. The relation is depicted with a relation “stub” recognizable by the hollow stub appearance (as shown in the following image), distinguishable from a “link” stub which has a solid appearance. Access the main view of the other component in a relationship by right-clicking the relation stub and selecting Goto Relation. Also, double-clicking the relation stub switches to the Wire Sheet view of the other component in the relationship.
