Having cross references between items of different types allows you to view your project from different perspectives and follow the relationships that exist between different parts of the project.

A method of achieving this in Cradle is to create metrics or matrices of linked items.

To create a matrix, open a new pane and right click and select 'New Matrix...'

Then select the following options in the Matrix Dialogue:

Matrix 1

Matrix 2

Matrix 3

Then click 'New'

 

This then creates the following Matrix:

matrix-complete.
