Tabular entry mode principles
This chapter introduces the principles of this functionality. It describes successively the tools proposed to:
• start with tabular entry mode, see Using tabular entry mode.
• use this functionality to create a diagram, see Overview of functionalities.
• determine the list of diagrams that have a tabular entry mode, see Diagram types with tabular entry mode.
Using tabular entry mode
The tabular entry mode is recommended during the initialization phase of a diagram. It is used to quickly and easily insert objects in the diagram.
The updates in the tabular entry are saved in the snapshot repository.
On each opening of a diagram in tabular entry mode, the position of elements is recalculated to preview the diagram.
If a diagram was modified manually with the editor, a message is displayed to inform you that the position of the objects in the diagram will be recalculated.
