Element property dialogs non-modal ?
« on: November 04, 2004, 06:01:30 am »
Element property dialog boxes are (application) modal, i.e. if one is open, you can't do anything else in EA.

However, it would be very useful to be able to navigate to another diagram, look inside another element, maybe just using the dockable windows, copy/paste some text from another item, and so on.

Or is there some kind of fundamental limitation ?

(build 731 - Sorry if a later version has changed this aspect, we are upgrading when 740 comes out!)

I don't know if we have any future plans regarding modeless dialogs, but there is a (rather inelegant) work-around: you can run EA twice on the same model...  :-/
