How to hide class namespaces?

Hi,

how do I hide the namespace information in class elements?

I have a very hierarchical diagram structure with components and classes.
The idea is that I have a top-level diagram consisting of components, each of which again consists of several sub-components and classes, and so on, several layers down. The intention here is that each diagram is small enough to fit a single sheet of paper, and simple enough to be easily discussed.

Now, in my lower layers, the class element boxes get cluttered with namespace information that is not only irrelevant, but even incorrect for my project. Often I confuse lower-level classes with higher-level components, because the name of the higher-level component is displayed in the diagram.

It also takes away room for more valuable information.

right-click on the diagram, properties, diagram tab, show namespaces

Nope, that does not change a thing.

Can you tell us exactly what you are seeing (and what you want to see?)

In case you are using nested classes then you can't do anything about the fact that it shows the name of the owner element.

That's exactly my problem. And since we don't want to structure our namespaces quite as hierarchically as our diagrams, the automatism is just plain wrong.

I agree that this is an area where an option to hide the namespaces should be provided.
Asperamanca, I recommend you put in a feature request

Good idea. Thanks!
