CAST Architecture Checker - Define Layer or Set Contents

Once the Layers and Sets have been created (see Define Layers, Sets and Dependencies) you now need to define their contents in terms of objects.

In basic terms, a Layer or Set is composed of a list of selection criteria. A selection criterion is a list of conditions that assign specific objects from a CAST analysis - objects that match these conditions are then "assigned" to the specific Layer or Set. The easiest way to select objects to fill a Layer or Set is to identify the objects by name or by type. This is extremely easy to do: just drag and drop the relevant property from the Types and Properties window to the target Layer Set in the Main window (Model tab).

Below are some simple examples, which can be extended as necessary:

• CAST Architecture Checker - Define a Data Layer
• CAST Architecture Checker - Define a Business layer
• CAST Architecture Checker - Using Sets
• CAST Architecture Checker - Using drag and drop from Type and Properties window
• CAST Architecture Checker - Working with block elements
• CAST Architecture Checker - Working with external objects
• CAST Architecture Checker - Working with multiple selection criteria
• CAST Architecture Checker - Working with sub-objects
• CAST Architecture Checker - Using the Action menu options to automatically create layers
• CAST Architecture Checker - Using the calls any or called by any layer option
