Whoa!! Stop second guessing me!!!
« on: July 08, 2008, 06:51:52 am »
I confess. I hate/despise wizardly tools that second guess my intentions.   I curse at MS Office constantly for this...

So I'm whizzing along with EA now, and starting to like it a little... And I notice a mistake in my data model OMG a typo... So I go to the real DDL and change it, and update the database... drop the table from the class diagram... re-import it...

EA, DID I TELL YOU TO AUTOLAYOUT MY DIAGRAM?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for Edit/Undo.  I knew I was in trouble when THE VIEWPORT JUMPED, THE ZOOM RESET, AND SUDDENLY EVERYTHING LOOKED ALL WRONG.

What are you developers thinking?  Do you like it when the compiler changes your code on you?  I think not ::)

Now how do I turn "Auto Layout" or whatever it's called OFF??  And while your at it how do I turn off ALL AUTOMATIC WIZARDLY behavior?

Looked in Tools/Options can't find it.

Thanks!!!! ;D
