Title: Find and Replace
Post by: lad4bear on May 06, 2005, 05:47:32 pm

Hi guys,

I'd like to request a find and replace feature which could be used across all or parts of the model. For example, when I change the name of an Actor in my use-case model, I want to be able to change all instances of that name in my scenarios as well.

I'm not going so far as to request full model refactoring but, you know, if your not busy and you quite fancy a challange ;)

Cheers, Pete (aka lad4bear

Pete,

Make sure you send a copy direct to support.  The Sparxians don't always pick everything up from the forums... :(

Also, since EA already has a spell-checker function, it should/would not be that hard to "piggy back" a search and replace function. :-*

Just in case, the Sparxians catch this...  Have a look at the Universal Naming Utility in Embarcadero ER Studio. Although not complete, in my view, it's one of the best thought out around. :)

Paolo
