Transfers

Transfer gates are used to connect diagrams and create nesting inside FTA diagrams.

With Transfer gates, a large diagram may be divided into smaller trees or a sub-tree can be inserted into the same or different tree multiple times.

You can perform the following actions with Transfer gates:

•	To add sub-tree to the current tree, select the predecessor gate, right-click and choose "Add transfer to sub-tree". Then select the desired tree from the list.

•	To open the sub-diagram, double-click the transfer gate in the diagram.

•	To change the sub-tree under the transfer, select the transfer gate, right-click and choose Edit from the pop-up menu. In the Edit dialog box, click Select and choose the desired sub-tree from the list.

•	To delete the transfer and insert the whole sub-tree into the current tree, select the transfer gate, right-click and choose Expand sub-tree from pop-up menu.

•	To divide a part of a large tree into sub-tree, select tree element you wish to be a top gate of the sub-tree, right-click and choose Transfer branch to sub-tree from the pop-up menu. The Transfer gate and a new sub-tree are created.
