The drawing shortcut feature enables you to double-click an element in the Layout view and go to (select) a different element in the Explorer pane. This rule provides an exception to the default drill-down behavior for an element.
To set up the Drawing Shortcut:
In the Drawing Shortcut section of the Element pane, click Set.
Navigate to the element, then click OK.
The selected element name displays in the Drawing Shortcut section.
When the Across Business Units object is double-clicked in the Layout view, the Layout view drawing drills in to show the Application Servers drawing, which is in a different branch of the element hierarchy, because of the defined Drawing Shortcut.
HINT:When an element is bound to a shape and you hover the mouse over the element in View mode, the status bar displays the name of the bound element as a link to the shape. However, when a drawing shortcut exists and you hover the mouse over the affected element, the status bar displays the drawing shortcut element name as the link to the shape.
