Title: Undo Functionality has improvement potential
Post by: eppinkf on January 19, 2007, 12:29:33 am

Hello

It has been stated before in this forum that the Undo Functionality is limited. I would however like to stress it again because from my point of view this is the most important improvement I would like to see in a coming release.

During my evaluation of Enterprise Architect I had several scenarios where I wanted to undo some actions and most of the times I found that it is not possible.
Example:
- I changed the type of a diagram from Sequence Diagram to a UseCase Diagram (okay maybe not very reasonable but possible)
- Then I wanted to change this back to Sequence Diagram, which was not possible via Diagram->Change Diagram Type
- Unfortunately the Undo Function was not available/greyed out

This is only one example.

Regards
Frank

Yes. I can live without undo and it improves my concentrations, but... esp. deletetion of elements from repository should be reversible.

Yes and not using a tool for UML modelling at all would increase concentration, craftsmanship and make you a better person ;-)

Anyway I still think it's a good tool.

I don't argue. EA is a great tool. And the best of it is hearing from Sparxians that our suggestions are coming to life.
