"where used" navigation
« on: October 18, 2006, 09:39:29 pm »
I'm using EA for infomration modelling with XSD as the target technology - however this question is more general than XSD.  My problem is that I can navigate forward from an attibute of a class to find the the class that represents the type of that attribute.  Hwever I cant see any way to do the reverse - that is to say "show me where this class is used to type an attibute of another class"..  Any ideas would be most welcome!!

Try Find in Project (Ctrl+F)
Type the name of your class
Search: Atribute Details

You can refine your search using Advance option (e.g. if you want to exlude attributes that have your text only in Notes).

It's true that I can find what I want using the search function but users reading genertaed html cant do that.  What i really want is for the generated html to show "where" used for each element so that users can navigate the report.

I'm used to add association (or dependency) between clases when one is using another. This is a little work, but not so much, when done immediatly.
Maybe automation can be used to create such link automaticaly.
