Deleting of Notes not possible
« on: June 14, 2016, 08:22:20 pm »
Hello all,

I've got some strange artifacts (Notes) in my EA model which I'm not able to delete.
These are notes that had originally been generated during the import of Use Cases (Extension Point:read an alert).
Any idea how I can remove them ?

Right click on the use case and click Advanced|Edit Extension Points

Hi Geert,

thanks for your reply. Is there a way to simply remove the note from the diagrams?
The Use Case has already been removed from the diagram, the note still stays there
and can not be deleted.
Do you know a way how to find the use case that has this extension point?

Yours,

Andreas

Hi,

found the use case. Now the note has been removed.
Anyway, strange behavior that I cannot remove the note alone.
Nevertheless, thanks a lot for your help.

Yours,

Andreas

Doesn't seem to happen in EA 13.
Which version are you using?

I too have seen this strange behaviour (usually with versions prior to version 12)

One way to remove the note from the Use Case diagram is:

Right click the Note and select Lock Element (which actually unlocks it)
With the Note selected, press Ctrl + Delete


That should do the trick!

Cheers
Phil
Models are great!
