Functional chains drawn by hand: a function with sub-functions is a box around them, ordered left to right by their flows; functions of one system are framed by a red dashed border. File holds several diagrams. Everything is stored in this browser only.
| Building |
|---|
| + Function / N / right-click the empty area | a new function (ID, title, the function it is inside, its system) |
| Right-click a function | edit, add a sub-function (inside it), add the next function with a flow to it, move out of its box, delete |
| Double-click a function, F2 | edit: ID, title, Inside (the function it belongs to — makes it a sub-function), System (functions of one system next to each other share one red border) — Enter saves, Esc cancels |
| Hold Ctrl + drag from one function onto another | a flow “this feeds into that” — the drag direction is the flow direction |
| Drag a function or a box | moves it (a box with everything in it); the place is kept |
| Automatic layout | places all functions again like the Functional Chain view: left to right in flow order, sub-functions one row lower |
| Click, Ctrl + click | select one / more functions or flows; Del deletes them (a function with what is inside it), Esc clears |
| Right-click a flow / a red border | delete the flow / remove the system from those functions |
| Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y | undo / redo |
| Viewing |
|---|
| Hold Shift + hover a function | fades everything except that function and its own arrows |
| Mouse wheel / drag the background | zoom / move the view; Fit shows everything |
| Files |
|---|
| File | several diagrams: new, rename, duplicate, delete; the list in the toolbar switches |
| Export JPG / PNG | the diagram as an image, everything at high resolution on white |
| Export XML / Import XML… | all diagrams as one file; an import adds its diagrams. The workbench's Manual Functional Chain and the standalone Functional Chain PRO max read each other's files |
