Structure Editor - PackML State Model

Open the PackML State Model

In the Operating modes pool, click the operating mode icon; the standard PackML state model opens.

Displayed States of the PackML State Model

Every operating mode has exactly one PackML state model (UML state chart). By default, a complete PackML state model is displayed.

The individual states are highlighted in color according to the PackML standard. Newly added states are always displayed in the same color (dark green). This color cannot be configured.

When going over a state with the mouse, symbols are displayed for the actions/methods Entry, Do, and Exit. By clicking the respective symbol, you can add an action/method to the state.
