Using the Dimensions CM Explorer

Displaying Dimensions CM Explorer

You can display the Dimensions CM Explorer either by launching the view within your current perspective or by using the Dimensions perspective, which is included with the Dimensions for Eclipse integration. The default perspective displays the Dimensions CM Explorer view in the left navigation pane and the Properties view in the pane on the lower-right.

To open the Dimensions CM Explorer perspective:

From the Window menu select Perspective | Open Perspective | Other | Dimensions CM.

To show the Dimensions CM Explorer view within another perspective:

  1. Select the area on the workbench to display the Dimensions CM Explorer view.

  2. From the workbench Window menu, select Show View | Other.

  3. The Show View window appears with "other" view choices.

    1. Open the Dimensions folder and select Dimensions CM Explorer.

    2. Click OK.

  4. The Dimensions CM Explorer pane opens in the workbench window with the Dimensions CM node collapsed.

After opening a connection to a server, you can browse a hierarchy of Dimensions CM objects that you are authorized to use. Click on the plus or minus symbols to expand or collapse a node in the hierarchy.

 

To hide the Dimensions CM Explorer view, click the Close button in the upper right corner of the Explorer pane. This frees workbench window space to display your code or perform other development tasks.
