Editing Model Dependency Diagrams
Once a model exists in a IntelliJ IDEA project, it can be shown in a Model Dependency diagram either by adding, or by dragging. So doing, all relationship links between models are built automatically.
It is also possible to remove from view the models that are irrelevant to the current presentation. So doing, no files are physically deleted.
A new model can be created from a Model Dependency diagram, as described in the section Creating Models.
