Title: Creating diagram based on parent diagram
Post by: miron on September 14, 2014, 12:54:04 am

Very often in my work I meet with case when I need to analyze existing solution (process, architecture, etc.).
And next I have to prepare one or more proposition of the solution.

I would like to use base diagram to put my solution.
I have to options: cope and paste diagram and next modify or
create patter and use it pattern and modify.

But when I changed base diagram I need to modify all my diagrams which presents new solutions.

Would be very useful to derive one diagram from another.
It is visual inheritance like in visual studio.

• When I change base diagram I will see changes on derivative diagrams.
• I could modify element from base diagram on derivative diagram

and reset to be the same property like form base diagram.

• I could remove elements from on derivative diagram.

and restore as on base diagram.

• Of course I could add new items

Check diagram filters. You may also copy/paste whole diagrams to create copies.

Besides, diagram inheritance seems to be something interesting. OMG has probably a too low/wishy washy focus on the whole diagramming.
