• Current class and feature name fields
  • These fields display the names of the class and/or feature currently active in the editor pane.
  • It is possible to type a class or feature name to center the editor on it.

  • Click to change the view currently displayed in the editor.
  • Drop a pebble to retarget the editor to a class or feature using the selected view.

• Viewpoints selector
  • The Viewpoints selector can only be active if you have used renaming and/or prefixing in your project settings to specify alternate class names for some classes used by your project. Otherwise it is inactive. In a project with renaming and/or prefixing, the Viewpoints selector becomes active when both of the following are true:
    • The editor window is focused on a class that has been renamed or prefixed in project settings.
    • The class is being viewed in a formatted view, i.e., a view other than the Basic text view.
  • The Viewpoints selector allows you to select how you would like to view renamed or prefixed classes:
    • As they really exist, i.e., as if you are their producer, or
    • Using the alternative names that you have specified in your project settings.
