An Analytica model can potentially display thousands of Diagram, Object, and Result windows.
To prevent your screen from becoming cluttered, Analytica limits the number of windows of each
type that can be open at once. The default limits are:
- The top-level Diagram window and not more than one Diagram window for each lower level in the hierarchy
- One Object window
- Two Result windows
The oldest window of the same type is deleted whenever you display a new window that would otherwise exceed these limits.
Overriding the limits on the number of windows: To display more windows of the same type, override the default limits in one of the following ways:
- Open a second Object window, or open a Diagram window without closing an existing Diagram window at the same level, by pressing the Control key while you click or doubleclick to open the new window.
- Use the Preferences dialog to change the Max open windows limit. Select Preferences from the Edit menu.
When opening a new window causes the number of windows to exceed this limit, the window that has been inactive the longest is automatically closed.
