2. Select the sequence Edit > Model Type from the Grafx editor menu bar. In the resulting pop-up
window, select the option Submodel.
3. Select the sequence File > Save As from the Grafx editor menu bar. In the resulting window,
enter a name which is different from the name which was used to load the graphic, and click
OK or press the
E NTER key. The model will be saved as a submodel with this name.
(It is important to use a new name for the submodel during the Save As operation. If the name of the origi-
nal graphic is used, a graphic and a submodel with the same name will exist, which can cause confusion.)
4.2.10 Using Model Variables
The Model Variables menu item, found on the Edit menu, provides a way to incorporate dynamic data from
the global database into graphic displays. Model Variables works in conjunction with the Custom Dynamics
menu item. See
Section 4.3.3.2, Declaring Variables , for details on use of this item.
4.2.11 Window Operations: The WINDOW Pull-down Menu
The Window option on the Grafx window menu bar provides features which allow you to control the num-
ber and arrangement of child windows. Click on Window to view the Window menu.
New Window: To open another child window containing the same contents (e.g., the same model) as the
currently selected child window, select the option sequence Window > New Window from the Grafx win-
dow menu bar.
The windows opened in this way are multiple views of the same graphic, and an identifying number is
appended to the file name in the title bar to differentiate the views; for example: agitator:1, agitator:2, and
agitator:3. These views are interdependent; changes made to the graphic in one view will be reflected in
any other open views of the graphic.
Cascade: The Cascade and Tile options are used to rearrange child windows so that all are visible in the
Grafx editor window. The Cascade option causes the child windows to overlap so that each title bar is visi-
ble.
Tile: Click on the Tile option to arrange the open child windows in smaller sizes to fit next to each other in
the Grafx editor window.
Arrange Icons: If child windows have been iconified, use the Arrange Icons menu item to arrange the
icons neatly within the Grafx editor window.
Child Window List: The bottom portion of the Window pull-down menu contains a list of child windows
which are currently open in the Graphics Configuration window. The number of the child window, the name
of the submodel or graphic it contains, and the Model Type (Graphic or Submodel) are included in the list.
If unsaved changes have been made in the child window, an asterisk (*) will be displayed following the
Model Type. When one of the entries in the list is clicked on, the associated child window will be selected;
it will also be raised, if necessary.
To close an individual child window, click on the Window Menu Button found at the left end of the child win-
dow's title bar, then click on the Close option on the resulting pull-down menu. A confirmation box will be
displayed, which provides the option of saving changes, discarding changes, or abandoning the Close
operation to leave the child window intact.
