To be able to edit your BOM in the BOM Graphical Editor, you need the Library Editing, the BOM Explorer, and the BOM Graphical Editor plug-ins active.
The BOM Graphical Editor displays a UML class diagram representation of the BOM, and enables you to view and edit the BOM classes graphically.
Like the BOM Explorer, it allows you to create classes and open the Class Editor. The BOM Graphical Editor also allows you to set up generalization and reference links between your classes.
To be able to start editing your BOM classes in the BOM Graphical Editor, you need a class diagram in the BOM. You can use the class diagram that is provided by default in a new BOM, or create a new one.
You can add class diagrams in any package of the BOM. This enables you to view any part of the BOM you like. The location of the class diagram in the BOM hierarchy is only important when you want to create new classes using the BOM Graphical Editor. When you create a new class in a class diagram, this class is automatically added to the package that contains the class diagram.
You can create as many class diagrams as you require, and there is no limit to the number of classes you can view. A class diagram in a particular package can contain classes from other packages if required.
