Changing Execution Environment  element type
« on: May 21, 2015, 02:57:50 pm »

I want to change the element type from "execution environment" to, say, "device".
There is no option for this user the Advanced menu.
It appears to be stereotyped, but is not.
Any suggestions?

It's on the main menu not the context menu: Element > Advanced > Change Type.

To speak with Orwell: All elements are equal. But some elements are more equal than others.

So I tried this, and being the optimist I am, I selected two execution environments and tried to change them to nodes.
Nothing appeared to happen.

So I selected only one. And it changed.
Before I report this as a feature bug can anyone else confirm this?

You can select multiple, but it only changes one of them (the last one selected). EAUI
