Merging two information elements or removing one
« on: March 07, 2018, 03:10:50 am »
Hi
I have by mistake added an information element with the same name in different Information Flows (many information elements in many flows). Now I want to remove one of them, but I cannot easily find out where I should change. If I just delete one of them, I will never find all places where to add the remaining.

Any good ideas?

Thanks
Mats

Use Ctrl-U with the element selected in the project browser. That gives you all diagram uses. You need to replace it be putting the other one on the diagram, move the connectors and deleting it from the diagram. Once it has been done on all diagrams you can finally delete it in the browser.

Ctrl-U does not locate uses in information flows. But solutions exist and have been posted in other threads.

My theories are always correct, just apply them to the right reality.

Neither does it find uses as classifier. So that must be covered in another way.
