Title: Fragment frames in Project Browser
Post by: billinares on September 17, 2007, 09:54:15 pm

Hello

I use Sequence Diagrams extensively for SW documentation. One thing that terribly bothers me is that each time I use a Fragment frame (loop, alt, opt, etc.) I get a new icon for it in the Project Browser; you cannot use the same object in the same diagram. The browser then gets so overpopulated with fragment icons that it's almost useless. Is there a way to eliminate fragment icons from browser?

Thanks

I find it annoying too, the best you can accomplish with EA is to create a package, and move all the fragments to it - inelegant, but it moves the clutter somewhere else.

But it would be nice if there were a better way of managing fragments. The appear to be owned by the diagram (by empirical evidence - shallow copy of diagram copies fragments); so it seems logical that they could be nested underneath their owning diagram. Maybe I should submit a feature request.

Perhaps so.

Please search my recent posts for a best practice - developed by the other forum members - that keeps us all in the loop when requests are made.
