The Class Relationship Pane

The Class Relationship pane, in the upper left in the Classes tab, displays the classes in the knowledge base as a tree. The Class Relationship pane includes four components:

  1. The Class Relationship menu allows you to control the display of the classes in the Class Window.  
  2. The Class Buttons allow you to create, edit, and delete classes in your knowledge base.
  3. The Class Window displays your classes and allows you to rearrange your hierarchy using "drag-and-drop". A number of icons give additional information about your classes; see Icons for a description. See Replacing a Superclass for information on rearranging your hierarchy.
  4. The Class Lookup Bar allows you to locate a class in the Class Relationship window by typing all or part of the class name and clicking the binoculars. See Finding a Class for more information.

Any changes you make in this window, or other windows, take effect immediately. To make changes permanent, save your project by choosing Save from the Project menu.
