Description
Tools → Dependency graph...



Installation
Ubuntu Linux: You just need to install the graphviz package from the Ubuntu repositories.

Windows: See http://graphviz.org/

You don't need any configuration of FreeCAD preferences. If FreeCAD cannot find the utility "dot" (from the Graphviz package) then a dialog comes up and asks the user for its path. It then tries to start the utility again and in case it succeeds the value is written automatically to the user parameters.

Mac/OSX: You can install graphviz using brew: This installs the graphviz binaries under /usr/local/bin. Unfortunately we can't navigate there from the file dialog that comes up from FreeCAD->Tools->Dependency graph. So let's create a link to /usr/local/bin in our home directory: Now when asked to select the graphviz install directory go to your home directory and select "bin".

Save/Export
With version 014.3700 and above you can save/export the displayed dependency graph.
 * Just choose File → Save As to save the graph as a picture (PNG/BMP/GIF/JPG), a vector graphic (SVG) or as a pdf-file (PDF).
 * File → Export or Tools → Save picture will NOT work.
