Search Toolboxes
« on: March 12, 2013, 02:25:41 am »
Depending on the selected modelling language there are potentially many different toolboxes that contain many different types of modelling element.

It is possible to search the project browser to find specific modelling elements but I can find no way to do the same to find a specific modelling element.

For example, I am using the MDG MODAF exension (ver 1.0). The toolboxes are organsised to align with the various views that are defined by the Architecture Framework. It is not always easy to remember which of the 30+ views one finds a specific modelling element in.

At the moment, the only solution is for me to search through each of the numerous toolboxes until I find the element I am looking for...

Is there a way to search for specific modelling elements?!?

qwerty

Make yourselt comfortable with the Query Search Builder (press ctrl-f). Open the Builder via the button and create a new search with the Query Builder. There you can include the Object Type. You need to know which object types exist (you can run a SQL search over t_object to find those existing in your model).
