Summary: information about the Call Hierarchy feature introduced in CAST Imaging ≥ 2.12.
Introduction
The Call Hierarchy feature was introduced in CAST Imaging ≥ 2.12 and is similar in behaviour to the Path Finder feature. The feature enables you to view all the objects that would be affected when a hypothetical modification is carried out on a selected "source" object. Results (depending on the options chosen) display all calling or called objects of the initial chosen source object.
Accessing the feature
To access the Call Hierarchy feature, you must be working at Object level in any scope:
Right click an object in the view and select Call Hierarchy from the contextual menu - this object will then be designated the source object:

|
|---|---|
| Number of depths | Defines the maximum number of levels in the call graph. By default this is set to 4 and can be changed as required. Note that changing to above 10 can impact performance - the higher the number, the more objects need to be discovered, therefore impacting performance. |
