The Model Browser
The model browser is a multiple window area containing in the upper part
The structure of the containment tree is our recommendation and is predefined in the E2E template.
These windows all can be closed, reopened, rearranged, pinned or unpinned as user likes. However, the window arrangement with E2E Model Compiler below containment tree has been proved useful. The rearrangement of windows in MagicDraw is described in chapter The xUML Model Compiler. MagicDraw windows can be reopened by selecting the appropriate item from the Window menu. The E2E Model Compiler can be reopened with E2E Builder > Views > E2E Model Compiler. |

The MagicDraw Status bar shows MagicDraw status information on the current UML model, such as errors, warnings, hints and messages. These are indicated by an envelop or an icon. Click on these icons to get more information.
The Status bar can be hidden and shown via View > Status Line > Show Status Bar.
