find a connector in other diagrams

[Guillaume]

Hi

I'd like to know if there is a way to select a connector between 2 elements (e.g. an association between 2 classes) and find out where this connector is displayed on other diagrams
This is possible for elements and I would find it useful for connectors/associations

cheers

select DiagramID from t_diagramlinks
where ConnectorID = <xyz>

there's no other way. use Repository.SQLQuery to execute, and parse the xml

I'm not sure if t_diagramLinks will contain all instances.
IIRC EA will not record a diagramLink if nothing is changed about the connector for that diagram (so no special style or something like that).

So to be correct you should be searching for all diagrams where both ends are shown, and where the link isn't hidden. (that information is stored in the diagramLink as well)

Try selecting the connector, then open the Context menu and select Visibility, and then Hide Connector in other diagrams.

I agree it would make good sense for a Connector to have a menu item "Find in other Diagrams".

Please put in a feature request.

PS Note also the useful Diagram | Advanced | Visible relations

Hi Simon

thanks for the info - it will be useful in the meantime. Shame we can't open a diagram from the list of checkboxes
