Notes and constraints are "immaterial"...

[GM]

I'm using EA9.0.

Say I have a UML class shown on several class diagrams. On one of those diagrams there are notes / constraints attached to this class, but I don't know which diagram it is. Now I need to retrieve all the note links related to that class, and know their content without browsing all diagrams.

If I open the Property->Links box of a class I only get a useless list of note links, but cannot see what's in those notes, or make the note links visible on the current diagram. Since notes are not concrete elements, they do not appear on the Project Browser, so I cannot find them anywhere.

Any hint to retrieve them back easily? Thanks.

Open the Element/Relations window (pre 10.0 it's View/Relationships). Now select the class. In the Relationships you see all note links. Right click one and select  Find in all Diagrams...

Excellent, many thanks!

I'm surprised that I can't get the same through the normal "Links" property box of a class. It seems to me an inconsistent duplication.

Well EA's GUI is not really consistent. We call it EAUI (EA Unique Interface). You (must) get used to it but once you did EA is a mighty tool.
