Located adjacent to the view option toggle buttons, these two buttons allow you to
show, hide, isolate or isolate only connectors shared by two or more link entities,
by picking the links, or other supported link entities, that they connect. These
advanced actions then select the connectors referenced by the selected link entities
and perform the desired action (show, hide, and so on) upon them. Figure 1.
These buttons only enable when you select at least two entities from the graphics
area or the Link Entity browser list, and they perform different actions depending
on the mouse button used:
Button
Name
Left-Click Behavior
Right-Click Behavior
Show/Hide
Show connectors between the selected entities.
Hide connectors between the selected entities.
Isolate/Isolate Only
Isolate the selected entities and the connectors between
them.
Isolate only the connectors between the selected
entities.
Unlike other action-type buttons, these two are not affected by the link view option
toggle buttons (1st link, 2nd link, or linked connector). However, they do work in
conjunction with the realization view option button.
You can specify how these shared connectors are determined by changing settings in
the Link Entity Browser configuration window.
