automaticly add new related elements

[Ashton]

Hi Guys,
I'm using EA to model a banking environment. I have more than 100 inter related components in my environment. For each one of these components, I have a diagram that’s nested under it in the hierarchies and shows the first level interfaces of the component. This is something that I have to maintain and when I publish the model, this is the most important reason why people use it, to visually see what the first level interfaces are.
The problem is that whenever I add a new component to the model and create relationships, I have to go to all the other components that are connected to it, go to the diagram and add this component to the diagram as a first level interface. It’s a really boring and routine task; I go to diagram, click on the component and select “Add Related Components” for the new component to show in this diagram.
I was hoping there was some sort of automated function that I could use for this. Does anyone know of anything that I could use instead of manually refreshing all the diagrams?
cheers

Yes,

My automatic diagrammer Add-In - currently (still) in Beta.

The Diagrammer will automatically create and maintain "neighborhood" diagrams (what links to me one link out) for each selected item.

As relationships are added/removed form the model, the diagrams can be automatically updated by running the Diagrammer.

Speeds of processing can be up to about 4000 diagrams per hour.  I currently use it to process enterprise models of up to 15000 diagrams.

If you're interested, contact me off-line.
