Multiple selection on associations
« on: June 05, 2012, 12:05:52 am »
Hi

Is it possible to select multiple associations/connectors from a diagram to apply a style (e.g. change the line colour, apply the Lateral Vertical line style, etc.)?
Here is a recurring issue I'd like to sort : working on a activity diagram with control & object flows, I need to change the line colour for all object flows that write to an object (source = activity, destination = object). I'd like to select all control flows instead of the elements e.g. with a toggle select elements vs select connectors.

Is this possible or does it sound like a feature request?

Thanks
Guillaume

Simple question, simple answer: no.

It took years until something like multiple selection for elements was implemented....

Thanks for the info -to apply a chosen colour to a number of links on a diagram, I use the Get Style once and Apply Style to all links I want to apply this colour.

I couldn't figure out how to assign a shortcut (e.g. shift-alt-Y) to the Apply Style command. Any idea?
