The [F3] key is wonderful for quickly drawing repeated instances of arc metatypes from the toolbox on a diagram.
We have a LARGE number of arc metatypes in our MDG and so we wondered if we could use [F3] with an arc we'd just drawn with the QuickLinker.
We found that sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Some of the don'ts appear to be caused by EAUI (we have various Notelink based metatypes - and they consistently don't work - you just get an unstereotyped Notelink. BTW: it works consistently when using the Toolbox arc). But some just seems to be inconsistent - sometimes it will duplicate and other times, it will do nothing.
Does anybody know if the functionality is supposed to be orthogonal - that is it should work for both Toolbox and QuickLinker originated arcs?
If it is supposed to be the same anyone hav eany ideas why it might not be?
