Showing selected fields from tables
« on: January 19, 2007, 03:10:55 am »
Is there a way to create a view/class object showing some selected columns?
I need this so I can descrive quiries graphicaly like this:
As you can see here, only part of the tables columns are shown,this way I can descrive/design quiery logics for the developers.

The only way I know of is to hide by stereotype. You can right click any element and select "Set feature visibility".

Doesn't work for reversed engineered tables, they keep the "column" stereotype.

Of course you could always hide the «column» stereotype.  :D
No, you can't have it!

Which is done by opening the options dialog to the Objects page and clearing the 'Show <<column>> stereotype' checkbox.

As for the original question, 'Set Feature Visibility' in the context menu of the table on the diagram allows you to hide specific columns.
