This menu entry brings up a dialog box, describing all the diagrams in the current project under ArgoUML.

Figure 10.24.  The dialog for Goto Diagram....

The dialog box contains a table with three columns and one row for each diagram in the current project. A scroll bar gives access if the table is too long for the box. Double button 1 click on any row will select that diagram in the editing pane. The three columns are as follows.

This dialog box is not modal, which allows it to remain open while editing the model for easy navigation.

	Warning
	The V0.26 implementation of ArgoUML does not immediately update the dialog box with changes made to diagrams: change of name, addition of diagrams, deletion of diagrams.

This menu entry brings up a non-modal dialog box for the ArgoUML search engine.

Figure 10.25.  The dialog for Find....

The Name and Location specifies the search to be made. It contains the following:

The lower two thirds of the dialog comprises an initial tab (labeled Help) giving summary help, and further tabs displaying the results of searches. These search tabs are labeled with a summary of the search element in diagram and are divided horizontally in two halves.

Button 1 double clicking on these tabs removes the tab, and spawns a new window that contains the tab contents, i.e. the search results. This window can be moved and sized at will. This does not work for the help tab.

The top half is labeled Search Results: followed by a count of the number of items found. It comprises a table with one row for each model element and four columns. The width of the columns can be adjusted.

Button 1 click on any row will give more information on that model element by showing related model elements in the bottom half (see below). Double click on any row describing a model element on a diagram and that item and diagram will be selected.

The bottom half of the tab is a table labeled Related Elements: and is a table with the same columns as the top half. When a model element has been selected in the top half, this table shows the details of any related elements.

	Tip
	Enlarging the dialog vertically shows that the "Related Items" part changes in size, but not the Search results part. However, between them is a divider line and when hovering over this line, the mouse pointer changes into a sizing icon, and the border between these 2 areas can be moved up or down to redistribute the space in the window.

	Warning
	This dialog box is not modal, which allows it to remain open while editing the model for easy navigation. But the V0.26 implementation of ArgoUML does not immediately update the dialog box with changes made to the found model elements: change of model element name, change of diagram name. Deletion of a diagram does not stop the possibility to navigate to it.

This entry brings up a sub-entry, which allows scaling the view of all diagrams to a factor of its normal size. This setting is not saved persistently.

The sub-menu items that can be selected are:

This allows selection of the grid representation on the screen between the following:

This allows selection of the spacing of grid snapping between the following:

	Note
	There is no option to turn off snap to grid altogether

	Note
	If you wish to align existing elements to changed snap boundaries, you can use the Arrange > Align To Grid Snap menu (see Section 10.7.1, “ Align ”).

This toggles whether page breaks are shown on the diagram (as white dotted lines).

	Warning
	This menu item does not work in ArgoUML V0.26.

This menu allows the user to hide or show any of the bars at will. By default, all of them are shown.

This activates a window that shows the complete contents of the current project in XML format.

Although very useful for debugging ArgoUML, this menu function is hardly interesting to the common user.
