The Module Chart Editor enables you to perform the high-level design of your system. For more information see the Modular Design Reference manual.
In the Module Chart Editor you are editing the chart of a Subsystem. Using this editor you can refine the Subsystem into its child Subsystem and Modules.

The Module Chart editor has these pull-down menus available:

Popup Menus
There are also popup menus available within the Module 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 Subsystem
pointing to an Import Subsystem
pointing to an Export Module
pointing to an Internal Module
pointing to an Import Module
pointing to a Connection
pointing to a 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 Subsystem this carries out Alter on the Subsystem name. If you double-click on the Export Subsystem symbol outside the Subsystem name this carries out Connect.
The following table shows the full list of commands carried out when double-clicking on objects.

Export Subsystem | Connect | Alter |
Import Subsystem | Edit Chart | Alter |
Export Module | Connect | Alter |
Internal Module | Connect | Alter |
