------------------What is Focalpoint?..

Answer / bhaskar.nagi

We have a option in FM to put "Set Focal point" in the
Diagram tab. Focal point is kind of center point to the
objects those are related to one object or one point.
So, if you want to see this in FM,

you can follow the steps:

1. select any folder or namespace and go to the diagram
view, then you can able to see the diagram tab in the bar.
2. select any object in the folder or namespace
3. select Set focal point option under diagram tab in the
tool bar.
4. now you can see the change in diagram view, like pointing
to one object which has all the relational objects.
