Locking locks too much ?!

Of course it's essential to be able to lock aspects of a model, but it's very inconvenient if you, as a locked-out user, just want to change some 'presentation layer' aspect to e.g. read some information or make it visible in your local view of the diagram.

The issue which brought this up was when I wanted to print a diagram to fit on one page, and found I couldn't set a 'shrink to fit page'  setting on the printer options: it was a diagram option, which was currently locked !

Maybe I should just ask Sparx to add this setting to the Print dialog, so that individuals can choose to override it if required, but it did seem a bit wider in scope - why can't I change the way I look at the diagrams locally without having to update the model ?

Maybe if you try to change a locked diagram, you are given the option to go into a mode such that "Diagram is locked - changes will be lost: Continue ?".

Or would that just be too complicated ?

PS. Just come across something else - diagram is locked and I would like to be able to add some tests; would be useful to allow lock discrimination between design and test roles.
