Add Structural Attachments rule reference

The Add Structural Attachments rule is used to add explicit edges to the diagram that represent structural attachment associations for both the attached network element and the structure element that are currently represented in the diagram.

Add Structural Attachments rule process

Structural attachment associations are not drawn by default in a network map. The Add Structural Attachments rule allows you to generate diagrams in which structural attachment associations are systematically drawn each time the attached network element and structure element are present in the diagram at the time the rule executes. They appear as straight diagram edges between the related attached and structure diagram features.

Caution:

Executing the Add Structural Attachments rule is time consuming. It is recommended that you consider the rule sequence you want when configuring a template, and add this rule only when needed. For example, if your template model starts with a [Trace] rule that is not configured to include structures when it executes, there is no reason to specify an Add Structural Attachments rule in the list.
