Convert object to class

[mperry]

Does anyone know if there is a way to convert an object into a class?

thanks!

I'm assuming you mean an instance on a diagram.

What you can do is select the object, then from the EA main menu choose Element | Change Type. Set the type to Class.

You can also change which class an object is an instance of. [Strange phrasing there, but you get the idea.] Right-click the object and from the context menu choose Advanced | Instance Classifier (or use the control-L shortcut).

That's great! thanks!

Your first suggestion worked. In my version of EA, you have to select Advanced | Change Type from the Element menu.

This will be a great timesaver for colleagues who have setup diagrams requiring Classes instead of Objects.
