Find element use in diagrams... at package level

[PurpleCat]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to extend the 'Find in all Diagrams Ctrl+U' feature to work at package level. This is so that I can quickly check whether elements in a package have been used elsewhere before I delete it. I've spent three days trying to write a script with numerous problems (which I'm happy to detail if anyone's that interested).
Surely someone has done this before? :-?

Extensive searching here and on the worldwidegoogleweb has yielded nothing. Help/pointers/code! greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. perhaps this should be a standard tool in EA?

PurpleCat,

I'm sure this can't be that hard to write.
"Find in all diagrams" is a pretty easy function to write, so all you need to to is loop all elements in the package and call that function for each of them.
You can use my C# EA add-in framework as a basis.
The EA Navigator add-in from the Enterprise Architect Toolpack already has a feature to show the diagrams for operations, so that part can be re-used as well.
