Change property of multiple elements at one time
« on: July 28, 2011, 11:08:31 pm »
Hello,

I have several classes in my model. All of them have the property "Status" with the value "Proposal".

Is there a way to select all of them and change the value of the property at one time? Currently I can change the property only one by one.

Thanks
Walter
Best regards
Walter

Try looking for Update    Element Status, For Package  in the Help index; does that do what you want?
Best Regards, Roy

Hello Roy,

yes, this function helps me for the moment. I could set all status properties. Thanks.

But what I expected, was something like:
1. Run a Model Search to select specific elements
2. Select a bunch of found elements from the search result
3. Change any property of the elements in Property tool window

or
1. Select a bunch of elements in a diagram
2. Change any property of the elements in Property tool window

Does EA support such a workflow?

Best regards
Walter

Welcome to the object oriented world. But not for EA users. Search the forum for "multiple selection" to get your daily portion of frustration.
