The Function Chart Editor enables you to perform the detailed design of your system. In the Function Chart Editor you are editing the chart of a Module. Using this editor you refine a Module into its Functions. For more information see the Modular Design Reference manual.

Popup Menus
There are also popup menus available within the Function Chart editor. These are activated by pressing the right mouse button. A different menu appears depending on the pointer position, relevant to the operations that are appropriate to the currently selected object. There is a different menu when you are:
pointing to an Export Function
pointing to an Internal Function
pointing to an Import Function
pointing to a Connection
pointing to a Parameter
pointing to a Connection Point
pointing to Text
pointing within a selection frame
not pointing to a diagram object
In the last situation, ProMod-PLUS assumes that you want to Create an object.
Double-click on graphical objects
If you double-click on a graphical object this carries out the most commonly used command. The command started is different if you double-click on the label of an object or on the symbol excluding the label. For example, if you double-click on the name of an Export Function this carries out Alter on the Function name. If you double-click on the Export Function symbol outside the Function name this carries out Connect.
The following table shows the full list of commands carried out when double-clicking on objects.
Symbol |
Label |

Export Function | Connect | Alter |
Internal Function | Connect | Alter |
Import Function | Edit Text | Alter |
Connection | --- | Alter |
