Link filtering possible?
« on: August 03, 2006, 01:07:36 pm »
Hi,
I'm a new EA user and started a project at work to reverse-engineer some legacy code.  Is it possible to filter the links at the diagram level with a class model?  For instance, I would like only generalization links to be visible and filter out the association links (which cause a lot of clutter) to form a basic class inheritance diagram, but I don't want to manually hide the association links for each individual element.  Any suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Jon

This is not possible directly. You will have to create different diagrams (I do this e.g. for generalization). To populate a diagram you can place a central class on it and from the context menu "Insert Related Objects". You might need to turn of visibility for single relations from the context menu.
