Searching State Model Entities

State models can become quite complex. You can search for specific states or transitions using the State Modeler Search Entity feature. It enables you to search either state nodes or transition edges in any one search.

1. Open the state model in the editor. In the toolbar, click the drop-down list beside the Search Diagram Entities button, and select Search State Entity:
   

   You see the following search dialog:

   
2. Type a search string.

   Search text persists in the drop-down list until you dismiss the dialog.

3. Select how and where to search as desired:
   • To make the search case sensitive, select the Case Sensitive checkbox.
   • To search for a state, click the State button.
   • To search for a state transition, click the Transition button and then click the Label or Name button to select whether to search by label or by name.
4. Click Search.

   If a match is found, the matching state or transition is selected and the diagram centers on it.
