Howto find/show all hidden connectors?
« on: April 28, 2011, 12:24:30 am »
In EA 8.0

I noticed that I must have hidden some connectors instead of deleting them, by mistake. How do I find and remove those unwanted connectors?

I have found no way to display the connectors in the project browser.

There's a "Relationship window" mentioned in help, but the corresponding menu entry does not exist.

In "Model search", I did not see an obvious way to search for hidden connectors (that is, connectors that do not have a single visible representation in any diagram).

What can I do?

Try Ctrl Shift 2
EA changes the menu position from version to version...

If you know a little SQL you could write your own SQL search to return all hidden connectors.
You should look for connectors that have a diagramLink that is set to be hidden.

Whoa, SQL sounds a bit overkill for such a simple search.

Ctrl-Shift-2 was exactly what I needed. Does anyone know where the menu entry is hidden in EA 8?

In EA 8 (864):  View | Other Element Tools | Relationships
In EA 9 (902):  View | Relationships

The "Set Visible Relations" dialog might also be of use - it allows you to see if any relationships have been hidden on the current diagram and allows you to show them again.  With your diagram open, press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+.

In EA 8 (864):  Diagram | Visible Relations
In EA 9 (902):  Diagram | Advanced | Visible Relations

No sir, I had to customize my menu in order to get it there. I had never opened the customize dialog before.
