Title: Ability Not to Show New Relationships Made Elsewhe
Post by: wikitect on July 16, 2009, 11:44:46 pm

This may or may not be a suggestion - it might be a lack of understanding or not having found the setting.

I'd like to be able to stop new relationships made on other diagrams showing up on mine unless I've allowed this to happen. The problem is otherwise (in a repository) where we use overlapping sets of objects in different viewpoints that you spend all your time hiding newly visible relationships that you don't want seen. It soon turns to spaghetti!

Thanks

Yes, I would like to see that as an option.  
At present, I have to remember to go to each diagram that the elements appear on and then hide the new relationship if it's not relevant to that diagram.

Or you can right-click the connector and "Visibility > Hide Connector in Other Diagrams". Not ideal, but better than opening every diagram...

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Presumably therefore there must be a flag or value in one of the underlying tables t_abcd that can be set wholesale periodically?

Could you give me a clue where this might be? Although not particularly great wrt workflow it would still be better than locating every link on a diagram and right-clicking.
