In large models it is sometimes difficult to navigate to a specific node. For this reason the (Node Dictionary) may be used with this type of navigation. The Node Dictionary dialog lists all currently available nodes in the drawing in an alphabetical order.

The (Show Detailed View) tool in the taskbar displays the node in details. To view the currently selected node from the list, select the node from the list while the (Auto Fit Selected Nodes in Graph) tool icon ( ) is depressed. The highlighted node is displayed in the center of the graph view. A corresponding range block around the selected node appears in the main geometry view. If you select the Rotate View tool in the drawing view , you can view the selected node from different angles in the active model window and see the range block adapt in parallel. You can select more than one node in the dictionary list, add and apply filter clauses and apply to selected nodes.

Node list — Displays all nodes in available in the current model, by default arranged in the order of name.

• Name — displays name of the node.
• Type — displays the type of node.
• Technique — displays the technique used to construct the node.

Note: The Type and Technique columns are seen only when tool icon is pressed.

A right-click on selected node has two options:

• Filter on Predecessors Of "NodeName" - sets filter to nodes past to the current node.
• Filter on Successors Of "NodeName" - sets filter to nodes next to the current node.

Supplies the filter Subject as per selected option: Predecessors of or Successors of, and the Value sets to that of the selected Node Type.
