Dimensions Linking

Linked Dimensions are created with a linked subject. The Dimensions Graph for linked subject looks like the regular Dimensions Graph but it cannot be edited. Linked dimensions are displayed with a special decorator.

Rules for linked dimensions are not displayed in the Existing rules section in the Palette.

You can add dimensions to the Dimensions Graph for a linked subject and perform the usual operations with them (add/delete conditions, create/edit/delete rules, expressions, etc.). An added dimension is displayed as a regular dimension.

Linked dimensions can be unlinked. After unlinking, dimensions are displayed as regular dimensions and can be edited (but still cannot be deleted). Unlinked rules are displayed in the Existing rules section of the Palette. To unlink a dimension, select the Unlink Dimension option from the context menu or from the Button Pad of the dimension's node.

Alfter unlinking, created Expressions can be edited/deleted.

The Link Dimension Back Action option is used to revert all changes made in an unlinked dimension and pull in the changes made in the original dimension.

After the Link Dimension Back Action, an unlinked dimension is returned to the linked state. If the original dimension was deleted, an unlinked dimension will also be deleted.

To perform Link Dimension Back, select the option from the context menu or from the Button Pad of the dimension node.
