Deleting items at diagram scope
« on: May 24, 2007, 01:05:01 am »
It would be nice to be able to delete a class from diagram scope rather than only from the browser. For example on the context menu have an extra item 'Delete class from model <CTRL-SHIFT-D>'. This would apply to connectors as well.

Why do connectors not support CTRL-D? I guess this is because connectors have to be hidden rather than removed from diagrams whilst preserving the connection in the model. This is OK if you're used to it but not consistent behaviour.

You can safely assume that (just about) any aspect of EA's UI (Unique Interface) has already been discussed in the forum.  Try a quick search first  and feel free to add your views to existing posts - that way our input is not diluted by being spread across many posts.

Paolo,

Thanks for that. I guess I got carried away in the heat of the moment and forgot to check the forum. Is there any evidence that they're listening to suggestions on UI usability?
