Hello,
I just download Capella 5.1 and i’m trying to edit a functional chain. After creation, by right clicking on it, i don’t have the option ; create new Diagram/table => functional chain description
Previously, while using an older capella version, by doing this i could update a functional chain and even link different fonctional chain together. Is this capability removed from the software?
Regards,
Thib
Hi Thib,
For me, it is working as expected on all SAB/LAB/PAB diagrams in Capella 5.1.0 on Windows.
Could you give more information: which diagram/engineering perspective, did you migrate a model or create it from scratch?

Hello Stephane,
I’m working on a model started from scratch on 5.1.0 on Windows 10. I was working under 1.4 and switched to the latest version because of this issue. I’m using a LAB diagram. When right clicking on the functional chain in the ‘Project Explorer’, i have the “Add Capella Element” as shown heredunder:
But i don’t have the possibility to create a new diagram (LFCD if i remember well). On an older version i was using (1.2), i can do it.
What you are trying to do is working in Capella 1.4.x and Capella 5.x
The only reason I see why you do not have this menu is that when you created your Capella project, you did not select the “Common” Viewpoint, this is where these diagrams are stored:
Let me know if this fixes your issue.

Thanks Stephane for your fast answer, it’s most likely the issue! I’ve only selected System/Logical/Physical…
Is it possible to change it once the project created?

I don’t think it is possible to change it. You may create a new project and then use the Transfer View to transfer model elements from one project to the other.
For using the transfer view: what I would advise first is to create a New Capella Library, and then reference it in your old Capella project (by right clicking on the aird file):
Don’t forget to set the reference to Write rights in the third tab whene referencing the library.
Then you can use the transfer view, look at the documentation section 4.12 - Transfer View , this is a little bit tricky…
Honestly, when I am creating a Capella project, I just enter a name for it and click finish directly, so having all the viewpoints selected by default. I am not saying this is what everyone should do, I am just saying this is what I am doing… But in any case, I think the Common and Architecture Viewpoints should always be selected…
