Inline name editing on new elements
« on: May 10, 2018, 12:08:11 am »
V14 seems to have turned off the option to show the properties dialog box when you create a new element. This has been replaced by the element name being highlighted for immediate edit when you create something directly on a diagram from the toolbox. However, this only works for UML elements. For ArchiMate, SysML, BPMN (probably others?), now when you create an element from the toolbox, it appears in the project browser and on the diagram, but the name is not selected for inline editing, so you have to either move over to the properties window, or press F2, or slowly click on the element twice. Just to add a name to a new element.

This new inline editing as default option is great, but it needs to work for all elements!
