There are several creation dialogs and submenus available in the modeling tool: 

  • Element Creation dialog and/or submenu are available via the Create Element command. The dialog and submenu display a list of commands for creating specific elements.
  • Relationship Creation dialog and/or submenu are available via the Create Relationship command. The dialog and submenu display a list of commands for creating specific relationships.
  • View Creation dialog and/or submenu are available via the Create View command. The dialog and submenu display a list of commands for creating specific views.

The corresponding commands are available in the element shortcut menu displayed upon right-clicking an element. 

Instead of using predefined creation dialogs that come with the modeling tool, you can create custom model-based creation dialogs listing only the commands of your choice, allowing you to customize the creation dialogs based on the needs of your specific project.

Currently, only the View Creation dialog is customizable in the modeling tool. Customizations for element and relationship creation dialogs will be available in future versions.
