Title: Search results to diagram
Post by: Uffe on January 05, 2012, 01:51:15 am

Hi again!


This would be very useful in many situations:
Add to the Model Search result context menu "Add Selected to Diagram."
This would bring up a browser, allowing you to select an existing diagram, or specify a location and a diagram type for EA to create a new one.

EA would then add all selected search results to the diagram.
Availability should follow the same rules as the Find menu items, ie it should be available when EA can determine the element type and identity.

Whacha think - useful?


Cheers,

/Uffe

Don't know the use case. But that pretty sounds like a job for an add-in. Don't forget your next Rolex...

If you move the search window to the output window (use the Options button) then you can drag them onto a diagram.

Aha!

So I was right and it is useful!
... and already implemented. I'll shut up now.  :-[

Just FYI, without moving the result to Output window, drag items in the search result, then move cursor on the target diagram's tab (keep dragging), and drop them after opening the target diagram.
