Deleting Partitions without deleting Forks/Joins

[CThompson]

Hi,
I am trying to clean up a model by removing duplicates of partitions. I am able to dissociate the activities in the partition and delete only the partition; however, if there is a fork present in the partition I am not able to prevent it from being deleted.

Also, in order to use a single partition instead of multiple partitons, I am dragging the partition I desire from the project browser into the diagram after deleting the duplicate. Sometimes this works fine but at other times I get a multitude of connectors which causes EA to crash when I try to delete them.

Is anyone aware of a solution to this problem?

I'm not sure, but try to move the fork to an existing partition first. If that does not work you likely need to script that by changing the fork's parent.

Here's one of the drawbacks that elements (like fork and notes) are not visible in the project browser.

Thank you . I already tried your first suggestion but that didn't work so I guess I have to learn how to script.

Always a good idea If you got stuck just ask here.
