Title: Feature Request: Classifier/Property Type Lookup
Post by: rjsmith on July 08, 2010, 10:54:38 pm

Currently, EA provides a means to locate the classifier of an element in the project browser, but no way (that I have found) to find all the elements that are classified to a given type.  
For example, I have an block named "Shape", and three object nodes ("Circle", "Square", "Triangle") that have instance classifier set to "Shape".  If I have "Circle" on a diagram, I can navigate to its instance classifier.  However, from "Shape", I cannot tell that "Circle"", "Square", and "Triangle" reference it.
It would be very useful to have a lookup, similar to the "In Diagrams" lookup, to find all the elements that reference an element as either an Instance Classifier or Property Type.

Thanks!
Rebecca

Rebecca,

It is pretty easy to write a search that will do that for you.
Look on the community site (http://community.sparxsystems.com/resources/model-search) for inspiration.
