Inherited Attributes

It would be great to have the inherited attributes from the generalization show up in the specialized classes.  It makes the disucssion of the model much easier for those who need to visually see the attributes in the specialized classes.

I presume you mean in the Class Properties dialogs or on the Browser?  Inherited Features rendering on diagrams can be controlled via Set Feature Visibility [Ctrl+Shift+Y].

Not so sure about the browser, but the dialogs could have a Checkbox similar to Rational Rose [  ] Show Inherited
Features
.  The inherited features  could be rendered as read-only and with different appearance on the appropriate lists.
