Diagram Tabs

Diagram Tabs are located at either the bottom or the top of the diagram area, above the status bar. The default location is at the bottom of the diagram area; for details of how to place the diagram tabs at the top, see the Configure Local Options | General topic. Each time you open a diagram, the diagram name and diagram type symbol are shown in the tab for easy identification and access.

Notice that the Component View tab is white with bold text; this means that the current diagram is the Component View diagram.

Also notice that the Use Case View tab has an asterisk. This means that there are unsaved changes in the Use Case View diagram. To save the changes see below.

To access the Diagram Tabs context menu, right-click on an appropriate tab. In the example below, the *Use Case View tab was right-clicked.
