work with two diagrams
« on: August 26, 2009, 08:01:06 pm »
hi!

i want to split off my design. so i have created two class diagrams one for the dependencies and one for the other relationships.

my problem is:
if i made a new dependecies in the dependencie diagram EA "draw" this dependencie also in the second diagram.

can i suppress this function so that EA draw only the relationship in the activ diagram and not in all diagrams?

thanks...

I'm afraid not.
One would think the "Lock Diagram" option would ensure this, but no such luck.
I suggest you make a formal request and a topic in the "Suggestions and Requests" forum.

If you right click on the new relationship and choose visibility from the context menu there is an option to hide the relationship in other diagrams.  The relationship still exists in the model.

If you drop the same two elements on a new diagram I think the relationship will show up and needs to be explicitly hidden.

Stan is correct.

You can also click on the relationship in the original diagram and choose to hide it in all other diagrams. This is helpful in you created more than two diagrams and only want the relationship visible on one. But EA will (I believe) continue to display the relationship on diagrams created after you perform this operation. Or for that matter, if you add the elements on both ends of the relationship to an existing diagram. The setting for a given relationship is not remembered.
No, you can't have it!
