Open Visual Graph button

The fastest way is a single click in Designer. No AI required, works offline.

1. Open Unified Namespace → Asset TreeUserTypes.
2. On the AssetTree toolbar, click Relationship Open Visual Graph (tooltip: Generate Visual Graph of UNS).
3. Designer generates a Markdown file with embedded Mermaid diagrams an interactive HTML file and opens it in the your default viewerbrowser. The file lands in the solution's Exchange folder under Visualizations/ as <SolutionName>_UNS_Visual.html.

The HTML is a single self-contained artifact with the UNS nodes and edges embedded. No server required. Pan, zoom, and filter via cytoscape.js inside the browser.

The output diagram shows:

• UDT class diagram. Composition members as hasPart edges, Reference members as dotted edges, BaseUserType as inheritance arrows.
• AssetTree containment. One node per folder, one per Tag, with the /Attr convention made visible.
• Cross-links. Reference-typed members pointing at other tags.
• Summary. Counts of UDTs, Enumerations, Tags, folders. Any warnings.

generate_uns_visual(scope="full", format="html")
generate_uns_visual(scope="subtree", root_path="/Plant1/Line3", format="mermaid-md")
generate_uns_visual(scope="userTypes", include_inheritance=true)

The MCP tool defaults to mermaid-md for scripted diffs. Pass format="html" for the interactive view.

• Mermaid starts to struggle around 500 80 nodes . Narrow or 200 edges. The generator emits an advisory warning above those thresholds. Switch to html (no limit, interactive) or narrow the scope (subtree, userTypes) or escalate to svg.
• html handles large graphs without performance advisories. Pan, zoom, and filter inside the browser scale well beyond Mermaid's practical limits.
• Same solution plus same parameters always produces byte-identical output. Safe to check into source control.
