2 EA questions
« on: May 13, 2011, 12:04:41 am »
Hi,
I use EA 8.0.864 and I have 2 questions:

1.
I have a class diagram and when I drag an element to the diagram its name contains the folder in which the element is stored. It looks like this: folder_name::class_name - how do I disable it? I want only the class name to be displayed.

2.
Is there a way in which when I mark an element in a diagram it automatically shows it to me in the hierarchy tree?

Thanks,
Viki :)

Viki,
Not sure why Skiwi has just quote you and not provided answers - unlike him.  :(

Try and open the diagram properties by right clicking on the diagram background, select the Diagram tab and uncheck the "Show Namespace".

Yes you can be selecting the element then right clicking to get the context menu then select find>in project browser. Or you could try the shortcut keys Alt +G

Hope that helps  :)

Skiwi,

Some corporate networks block the images on the forum.
The result is that the images are simply not shown, which is probably the reason for Viki's reply.
It happens to me a lot too, but for some reason your images are not blocked by our network admins.

Well its time we resurrected the hoary old request to Sparx and asked then to enable images on this forum (are you there...)
