How do I hide sub-set of diagram elements?

[miksko]

We have recently upgraded from Sparx 15.2 to 16.1.

• In Sparx 15.2: When you created general diagram elements like Note, Diagram Legend and Hyperlink, those elements wouldn't be noticeable in the Project Browser.
• In Sparx 16.1: The diagram elements are placed in a sub-set, in the same package as the diagram. The sub-set is collapsed by default but may be expanded, to reveal the containing diagram elements. We would like to hide the sub-set entirely and make the Project Browser look like it did in Sparx 15.2. How may that be done?

It can't.

Thanks for the reply.

Maybe you could move the elements to another package on a location where it wouldn't bother you?
This may even be automated using a script?

That would probably be even worse.
Now diagram specific elements are nested underneath the diagram they belong to.
By moving them to another package you would loose track of which diagram element belongs to which diagram.

I don't even know why the allowed these to be moved to another package.

I think the key is to educate the users. This is a new feature that they have to get used to.
I know change is scary, but IMO this should be manageable no?

This can be determined as with any other element using the option "Find in diagrams".

When duplicating a diagram, the note is duplicated as well. In some cases, I prefer to show the same note on both diagrams. In this case I need to manually deduplicate the note by removing the duplicate and pasting the link to the original note on the second diagram.
