1. In **Operational Analysis**, create entities, actors, activities and capabilities. Use **In selected** for semantic decomposition and **Allocated** for new leaf work performed by a participant. Activities can decompose independently of their performer; roles capture shared operational responsibility.
|
||||
2. Switch to **System Analysis**. Define one System of Interest and external Actors, then functions, missions, capabilities and functional chains. The system boundary has no internal LA/PA components in this version.
|
||||
3. Select a System or System Actor and choose **Add port** in the browser or Properties. Choose Standard or Flow, then **Create port**. Select the port and choose **Connect boundary exchange**; the picker identifies compatible ports by owner, name and alias. Create the other participant's matching port first if none exists. Functions expose separate input/output port actions. Use **Create relationship** for allocations, functional exchanges, capability involvement, mission links, state transitions and interface relationships; **Data & interfaces** holds reusable payloads and contracts.

3. Select a System or System Actor and choose **Add port** in the browser or Properties. Choose Standard or Flow, then **Create port**. Use **Boundary exchange** in the diagram palette, or **Draw boundary exchange** on a selected visible source port, to connect compatible component ports directly. Create the other participant's matching port first if none exists. Functions expose separate input/output port actions; the **Functional exchange** palette tool connects them. **Actions** exposes other engineering relationships and off-diagram configuration; **Data & interfaces** holds reusable payloads and contracts.
|
||||
4. Create focused views. **Containment** nests semantic children; **Architecture · allocated work** nests work within performers; **Functional dataflow** shows work decomposition and exchanges; **Missions & capabilities** shows objectives and participation. Dashed, italic parent work denotes an allocation summary inferred from its leaves. Ports appear on their owner's boundary. Placement dragging changes geometry. **Hide** removes a placement; **Delete from model** removes semantics and dependent references. Use **Placement** and **View properties** for exact values.
|
||||
5. In **Behavior & scenarios**, author processes/chains, scenario lifelines and ordered occurrences, including repeated uses of the same exchange and explicit fragments/branches. State machines contain regions and states/modes with guarded transitions, availability and state-action links. Conditions are descriptive, not executable simulation code. Creating records in Behavior or Data preserves your architecture layouts; **Show in this diagram** adds an explicit placement when desired.
|
||||
6. Select an OA or SA element and choose **Create / update counterpart**. Review dependency scope and counterpart choices, then apply one undoable transaction. Existing counterparts retain their structural choices; reviewed updates compare names/descriptions. Manual traces link other engineering correspondences. **Traceability** also edits artifact URI, revision and fragment metadata.

The inspector exposes typed properties, references, ordered lists, aliases and UUID identity. Applying or navigating away attempts to commit the draft; invalid values remain editable. **Escaped strings (advanced)** uses quoted JSON escapes for exact tabs, line breaks and carriage returns, for example `"First\nSecond"`. UUID changes atomically update dependent references. Accepted model/source history retains up to 100 edits within an estimated 32 MiB history budget.

Drag cards to move on a 10-unit grid, drag empty space to pan, and scroll to zoom. **Arrange** changes the current view layout; **Fit** frames its projected bounds. SVG exports the current architecture diagram as a view, not an editable model file.
|
||||
Choose **Interaction**, **Functional exchange** or **Boundary exchange** in the diagram palette, then click the source and a highlighted compatible target, or drag between them. Functional exchanges use output/input ports; function cards create or reuse real ports atomically. Boundary exchanges use compatible component ports. Middle-button drag pans without losing the chosen source; arrow keys also pan while drawing with the canvas focused. Click empty space to restart, or Escape to cancel. Each completed connection is one model/source history operation; edit its name and carried items in Properties.

Connections start with orthogonal routes that avoid cards and container headers. Select a connection and drag a line segment to add a bend, or choose **Add bend**. Drag its circles to adjust the route; **Remove bend** removes the selected point, and **Reset routing** restores automatic routing. Drag the connection label independently. Each completed gesture is one undoable edit; Escape cancels a drag. Routes belong to the current diagram and persist in source, JSON, REST and SVG export. Typed ports remain attached to their owning elements. Folding an endpoint container temporarily uses an automatic route; expanding it restores your authored route. Dense diagrams can still need manual adjustment—automatic routing is bounded and does not guarantee an overlap-free result.

In **Select / move**, drag cards on a 10-unit grid, drag empty space to pan, and scroll to zoom. Drag ports along their owner's border or onto any of its four sides. Automatic sides account for direction and visible connections. Manual positions are per diagram and remain relative to the owner through movement or resize; right-click **Reset automatic position** restores automatic placement. **Arrange** changes the current view layout; **Fit** frames its projected bounds. SVG exports the current architecture diagram as a view, not an editable model file.

Connections start with orthogonal routes that avoid cards and container headers. In Select mode, select a connection and drag a segment to add a bend, or right-click for **Add bend here**. Drag its circles to adjust the route; the menu offers **Remove bend** and **Reset routing**. With the canvas focused, Insert adds a bend and Delete removes the selected bend. Shift+F10 opens the selected item's menu; **Actions** in Properties provides the same commands. Drag the connection label independently.
