Automatic creation of diagrams

It is possible to create class diagrams automatically after the reverse or by using a command.

In order to create the diagram corresponding to the reversed classes after the reverse, open the parameter configuration window (via the "Tools/MDAC options..."menu) and check the "Automatically create diagrams on initial reverse" tickbox.

To ask for diagrams to be created on a particular package, use the "Java Developer/Create diagrams" command from the contextual menu of that package. The following diagrams will be created when necessary:

· inheritance diagrams

· association diagrams

· package diagrams

These diagrams can then be modified at your convenience just as with all diagrams in Objecteering.

If you need to access this feature again (using the command on a package or automatically after a reverse), the diagrams are not modified. They are renamed using the "old" prefix and new diagrams are created.
