    As a result, the model element will be shown on the selected diagram.

    NOTE: If you have already made a model element for the candidate object, the Create Model Element option will be hidden even after you right click on it.

Dragging and dropping candidate objects

You can visualize existing candidate objects by dragging from Model Explorer and dropping on the diagram.

To visualize a candidate object or several candidate objects, select a candidate object (or a few candidate objects) from Model Explorer, drag and drop it(or them) on the target diagram. As a result, the view of the selected candidate object(s) will be shown on diagram.
