Visibility of class name prefixes
« on: October 12, 2007, 06:16:41 am »
Hello,

I create a class with the name TParent (no attributes,
no methods). Than I increase it's size on the diagram
with the mouse.

Then I create a class TChild.

Then I move TChild on top of TParent. Now the name
TParent::TChild is displayed as name of TChild.

Sometimes this is fine, but is there an option, to hide the prefix, so that only TChild is displayed in the diagram as name of the class?

Any help appreciated:

Uwe Fechner

This has me puzzled too Uwe,

Not so long ago someone asked a related question. In looking up where the settings went I noticed that some of them disappeared around the time version 7.0 came out.

There used to be settings like highlight foreign elements, or hide additional parents, or something like that - I think there were a total of two or three settings that affected if and how element names and origins were displayed.

Perhaps you can start a bug report (since this is 'broken' functionality) and we'll see if Sparx can get these back for the next build. This is going to mess up a lot of work if it cannot be corrected fast.

What say?

It's "Tools > Options > Diagram > Disable fully scoped object names"...

Thanks Neil.

I kept thinking it was there someplace, but I just could not seem to see it.
