Find and Replace Option

[crd]

Is there a Find and Replace option in EA that I am just missing?

Thanks,
Carol

Maybe you want Edit...Model Search (Ctrl+Alt+A).  There is no replace functionality here.

Actually, I want the option to search the project for a string and replace it with another string.

Find String: Old Company Name
Replace String: New Company Name

I would love for it to work like it does in word allowing you to view where it found the string and then opt for the replacement or not.

I also just wanted to do a reality check that it really isn't there.

Does this help

http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/8.0/report_generation/searchreplacecommands.html

of course not, its for RTF documents only
I wish

And off topic, some feedback on the Sparx website usability.

1) why does the search ignore search terms (see below)


2) why does the search insist on resetting the search domain to "Sparx Systems" when I am searching the "EA USer Guide"

Please just fix it.

The only currently available option is to export the whole model to XMI, do a find/replace on the xmi file, and import again.
Just be careful not to mess up the xmi structure.

Other options would be to write an addin, or work something out on the database level.
