| Call trees | View procedure call trees and file dependency trees in treeview or report format |
| Cross-references | View references to any programming object to see where it is being used, view all references between two files, view references into/out of a file, view references by type(such as object instantiations or array allocations) |
| Diagramming: Project Graph | Interactive procedure call trees, file dependency trees, class hierarchy trees, control flow trees, data flow trees, instantiation trees, data declaration trees and form show trees. Print or save as image for project documentation. |
| Diagramming: | Complex procedure call diagrams, file dependency diagrams, class hierarchy diagrams, control flow diagrams, data flow diagrams, variable access diagrams, form show diagrams, "file belongs to project" diagrams, project dependency diagrams, class cohesion diagrams and recursion diagrams. Print diagrams or save as image files. Export diagrams to edit in Microsoft Visio. |

| Reports: User interface | Menu report, Control report, Hotkey conflicts report, for VB 3-6 projects only |
| Library report | List used library files and API Declare statements |
| Design quality report | Overall picture of the quality of a project, measured by several metrics, such as percentage of dead code, percentage of meaningful comments, and distribution of lengths of names. |
| Summary report | Summarize the size of a project, a statistical information source of your efforts, metrics such as total lines of code |
| Find | Enhanced search for procedures, variables, constants, types, enums, code, comments or any text in a project |
| Listings windows | List and navigate variables, constants, parameters, procedures, modules and data types |
| Hypertext code view | Surf source code as hypertext where calls become clickable links to called object |
