Pruning a Scope

You can prune relationships from a scope you own directly in the Diagrammer window. When you prune a scope, keep in mind that:

  • You are deleting relationships from the current scope exactly as if you were deleting them in the Scope Editor window. For that reason, you might want to save the original scope with a different name and use the renamed scope as the basis for the pruned diagram.
  • All the relationships of the selected type are deleted for the selected object, not just the single relationship you selected in the diagram.
  1. To prune a scope, select the relationship you want to prune in the diagram and choose:
    • Prune type for right object in the right-click menu to delete from the current scope all relationships of the selected type for the right object in the relationship.
    • Prune type for left object in the right-click menu to delete from the current scope all relationships of the selected type for the left object in the relationship.
  2. Generate the diagram in project or copy-and-paste mode. The Diagrammer deletes the relationships from the redrawn diagram.
