rename an object
« on: August 05, 2010, 05:54:16 pm »
If it is nessesary to rename an object (like actors or use cases e.g.)  and you do so - is there a possibility to refresh all links to this object, which are used in descriptions automatically, so that the new name is displayed in all these descriptions?

If with "links" you mean parts of the notes that contain the old name of the element, no.
The easiest is to export the whole model to xmi, and do a search-and-replace. Just be careful that you don't break anything.

... thanks, that was our idea too, but we are "new" in using Sparxx, so that we don't know all possibilities.
