Author Topic: set visibility per connector type (Read 5042 times)

MatthiasH · « **on:** August 05, 2009, 10:04:31 pm »

I am creating a class diagram to represent the inheritance of a larger class hierarchy. EA draws all relations, like inheritance, association, dependency, etc.

This makes the diagram diffcult to read. Since the focus of the diagram is inheritance, I would like to set all connectors of other types to invisible.

Currently I have to modify each individual connector, which is inefficient and bothersome.

It would be nice to extend the diagram properties to define which kind of connector should be visible or not.
This would also allow to quickly switch between different "views" of the same diagram.

Thanks,
Matthias

Agreed, and often mentioned.

I'd support this, and
selection all/none, or by connector type.
