help needed - how to delete relationships
« on: August 07, 2007, 04:26:32 pm »
Hi
I am trialling EA, and am likely to buy, however I have encountered a problem that I cant find an easy solution for.  In the Relationship Matrix I pressed the wrong button and now have one requirement linked to all my use cases.  The problem is I cant delete the relationship.  When I right click on any of the individual relationships, delete relationship is greyed out.  I could open each Use Case and Actor and delete the relationship, but that would be very time consuming.  Is there any easier way?  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Tony

Drop the requirement in to the use case diagram, you'll see all the relations graphically as connectors, so you can easaly delete them.
Recursion definition:
If you don’t understand the definition read "Recursion definition".

Alternatively, select the requirement and use the Relationships window (View | More Windows | Relationships) to delete all the (unnecessary) relationships.

Thank you very much folks.  Unfortunately while I was following Martins advice I inadvertantly pressed Ctrl-Delete on the requirement after I'd done the relationships. :-[

Anyway, your advice worked, if only my fingers did too...

Thanks again,
Tony
