+[[Property:title|Locate command]]
+[[Property:weight|4]]
+The locate command (  [[Image:general-search-icon]] ), located in the [[Cluster tool: Introduction|cluster tool]] , provides an easy way to find a class or a cluster in the [[System tree representation|cluster tree]] . 
+
+Clicking it automatically expands the clusters containing the edited class or cluster and selects it.
+
+[[Pick-and-drop mechanism|Dropping]]  a class or a cluster on it expands the clusters containing the searched item and selects it.

+[[Property:title|New class command]]
+[[Property:weight|3]]
+The new class command (  [[Image:new-class-icon]] ) located in the cluster tool toolbar creates a class in the same fashion as the main new class command. The only difference is that when using the cluster tool command, the new class is by default located in the cluster selected in the [[System tree representation|cluster tree]]  (or the parent cluster of the selected class, if a class is selected). 
+
+A dialog is then popped up in which it is possible to select the name of the new class, the name of the file it should be created in (by default ".e" is appended to the name of the new class to generate the file name), and the cluster in which the new class should be inserted. Only clusters that are not libraries are displayed in the list, since library clusters cannot be modified.

+The new cluster command (  [[Image:new-cluster-icon]] ) located in the cluster tool toolbar creates a cluster in the same fashion as the main new cluster command.

+[[Image:new-cluster-dialog]]  
+
+Enabling the '''recursive''' option makes the compiler search not only the cluster directory but also all its sub-directories for classes. <br/>
+The '''library''' option optimizes compilations, since the classes inside a library cluster are compiled only once. However, if you modify the classes inside a library cluster, the modifications will not be taken into account in your project. Besides, you cannot add or remove classes in a library cluster, so use this option with care: if you intend to create new classes inside this cluster later in your design, do not select the library option. You should use this option only if the new cluster is given an existing directory, which already contains classes that you will not modify. 
+
+{{tip| '''Tip''': You don't have to enter a path for the new cluster if you choose to create a sub-cluster: the new cluster directory will be a sub-directory of the directory of the parent cluster, and its name will be the name of the newly created cluster. }}

+[[Property:title|System tree representation]]
+[[Property:weight|1]]
+The cluster tool is mainly composed of a tree representation of the system.
+
+[[Image:cluster-tree]]  
+
+Here is the meaning of the symbols of the cluster tree:
+*   [[Image:folder-cluster-icon]] ,  [[Image:folder-cluster-readonly-icon]] ,  [[Image:folder-blank-icon]] ,  [[Image:folder-override-cluster-icon]] ,  [[Image:folder-hidden-cluster-icon]] , are clusters (normal, readonly, subfolder in a recursive cluster, override cluster, hidden/implementation cluster) 
+*   [[Image:folder-library-icon]]  are libraries 
+*   [[Image:folder-assembly-icon]]  are assemblies 
+*   [[Image:folder-namespace-icon]]  are namespaces in assemblies 
+*   [[Image:class-normal-icon]] ,  [[Image:class-frozen-icon]] ,  [[Image:expanded-normal-icon]] ,  [[Image:class-deferred-icon]] ,  [[Image:class-overriden-normal-icon]] ,  [[Image:class-override-normal-icon]]  are compiled classes (normal, frozen, expanded, deferred, overriden, overriding) 
+* Greyed out classes are classes outside the system.
+* Classes and clusters that are part of a readonly group are shown with a lock (for clusters) or brighter icon than normal (they cannot be modified)
+*   [[Image:folder-target-icon]]  are targets 
+
+Left-clicking on any item will send it to the editor. It is also possible to [[Pick-and-drop mechanism|pick]]  items to send them to various components of the development window. 
+
+[[Pick-and-drop mechanism|Dropping]]  a class in this tree representation moves it to a different cluster (either the cluster it is dropped on or the cluster containing the class it is dropped on, according to where it is dropped). This is only possible if the dropped class is not in a library cluster, if its source file is readable and writable, and if the destination cluster is not a library or precompiled cluster itself.
