8.3.8 Deactivate an Abstraction

To deactivate an abstraction:

• select the Deactivate… command from its right-click menu, or

• select the Abstraction shape in the diagram and select the Deactivate… command from the Abstraction menu.

The model diagram will be re-drawn appropriately, with entities returning to their original positions if they were moved whilst the abstraction was active. The title bar of the modeler will be changed to indicate whether an abstraction or the entire model is being viewed.

If the abstraction is part of a drill-down from another abstraction, the previous abstraction will become active.
