Model search and replace

[Uffe]

Hey there!


I'd like a UML element search-and-replace feature. This would trawl through the model and replace all uses of one element with another.

A useful option would be the ability to specify the behaviour in case a particular replacement halfway through the process is found to be non-UML-compliant. Three radio buttons:
- Abort (and revert)
- Ignore (silently)
- Report (upon completion)

Another useful option would be the ability to specify behaviour wrt affected diagrams. Two checkboxes:
- Leave open (leaves each affected diagram open after completion)
- Auto-layout (performs auto-layout on each affected diagram)

You have my vote.
I'm currently writing an add-on to do exactly this for a number of classes.

Got my vote.

I presume "Non-UML compliance" would itself be a check box for us who do "funny" stuff...
