V15 (beta 4) - Feature Linker

[Ian Mitchell]

A big round of applause for the V15 "Feature Linker" feature. Now we can quickly link attributes/ops of a class to other attributes/ops in another class, without the 17-step process we used to follow.
This should enable EA to be WAY better at, say, documenting ETL (extract, transform, load) processing for data warehouse applications, where we need to understand which attributes in the source map to which ones in the target, via which operations. There is even a feature in eaDocX/Excel to do this, which i guess now looks less important, unless you have loads of these to input.
AND
The Quick Linker arrow got bigger, I think, which is good for us old folks who don't see so well.

Welcome to the club :-)

Anyway, I still hesitant to switch to V14. Oh what times that were before the war.

While also not seeing so well, I guess it depends on whether your use of EA is broken by the later versions.

I've recently moved our superusers into using v15β on our production environment.  They are liking most of the new features that make it easier to use for their purposes (i.e. we aren't using the newest features - just utilising the usability improvements)

I quite agree - moving between version is becoming an annual task, as it updating my EA training materials, screenshots on help, user guidance etc etc. At some point, I wonder if this re-shuffling of menu options will stop.
@Geoff - what do you think?
