Change multiple connectors' type

[Evandro]

Hi there,
in a Class Diagram I've got +100 connectors I need to change.
EA User's Guide suggests me the following: Diagram>Right-click on Connector>Advanced>Change Type.
Any suggestion how to avoid doing this one by one?

Thanks

You need to write a little script that goes through all connectors. EA does not allow to change multiple connectors in one go via the GUI.
