Track occurrence of elements on diagrams?

[Arjen]

Is it possible to find on which diagrams model elements occur?

Context: I've been building some models with lots of unnamed startactivities. Also, I've deleted a number from diagrams, but not from the model. Now I'd like to cleanse my project view from all unused startactivities. However, I see no possibility to distinguish the 'orphans' from the ones in use.

Again: thanks for any help!

Hi Arjen,

Are you wanting to do this specifically under automation?  If not, then Search Project [Ctrl+F] has a predefined search that will find orphans and may select the things you want...  Certainly it should be modifiable to your needs.

HTH,

From an element use Ctrl+U
From automation you need to recurse through the project view.

From Automation, you can also call the Find Orphans search using Repository.GetElementsByQuery which returns a collection of elements matching the search criteria (added in EA 6.5.795).

Dim results as EA.Collection
Set results = Repository.GetElementsByQuery("Find Orphans", "")
