This task shows you
how to view related objects in a design. The direct
parent and child/children of the active object are considered related
objects.

With your
document open in the System Design workbench, double click to make a
document or object active, and click the Structure Object

the active object and its parent/child displayed. (Click the Product
View tab if it is not selected.)
