Author Topic: Advanced > Make Composite (Read 5698 times)

I've just upgraded to EA10 and when I right-click on an Activity in a UML Activity diagram, I expect to see the menu option Advanced > Make Composite.

I no longer see it...has it gone somewhere else?

Thanks,
Saul

It has gone to a better place. Try New Diagram > Composite Structure Diagram.

You will find there is also a New Diagram > Select Composite Diagram command that allows you to change the diagram that is hyperlinked to the composite element.

Phewww, I thought this was gone from the application.

Someone at Sparx seems to think it's a good idea to move menu positions at each release. [highlight]No![/highlight] It is not a good idea. Users get confused and companies have to pay for additional training.

Fair point, but in this particular case it is a bit more than moving the command - it has been split into two parts (creating the link and choosing the linked diagram) as requested by this forum many times in the past

It's not all bad with moving menus if you once come to a point. In the past almost each new version had significant changes in the menu structure. It would be nice if someone sits down, creates a useful menu structure (and possible one that's extensible without re-learning everything).

I think, the current is (more or less) in a state one can live with.
