EA supports selecting multiple elements, but what about connectors or other composite selections (ie. a boundary, connector and element?)
At the very least - select multiple connectors - so the colour, hide (or show) labels operation can be done in one hit rather than right clicking each and every connector....
Even better.... me being OO, generic and all that.
Extend the above, so EA could allow you to select a mish-mash of different classifiers on a diagram then based on UML classifier hierarchy, determine and show the common properties that can be edited on the right mouse click (ie. font in most cases, but many other things are classifier specific).
What do you think? I've seen other tools do this (I think even Visio to an extent) but can't remember specifics.

Multiple selection? Don't tell me you're Bruce newborn ;D
Put in my vote for this. Maybe we will see it in our old days.

Hehe Bruce, moi? I'm flattered.. I think I've got a long way to go, but am old and grey enough to be cantankerous when need be ;D
I'd like to know what categories Sparx have for feature enhancements and relative priorities... seems to me the product is getting very code centric. I would have thought any productivity features around diagram and model usability would be at the top of the list (well from my perspective anyway).
Cheers,
DAvid.

Indeed that would be very nice to have an insight in Sparx' issue list. We asked for that when I joined this forum some years ago. As multiple selection there was not much proceeding :(
However, Sparxians, our wish is still present. Do you hear us users?
-
I'll chirp in as well. Perhaps that'll help raise the volume on this one.

Is this enough for the start of a "conga" line? ;D
While I'd also like this, I don't see it coming any time soon. Otherwise it would have been here by now... :(
However, I would ask that Sparx ask for some user input about what the requirements for such a beast BEFORE they start designing the solution... ;)

Wow. So this issue has been raised more than three years ago. I'm new to EA, but how have all of you lived without multiple link selection? :o

EA users are well know to be very patient.

It's the price you pay for not having to pay the price.

Ignacio,
see http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1277094607/0 for more things we live without.
Very happy to have you add to that thread

Fred,
I had to work with other UML tools in the past that were ~20+ times more expensive, but I have to say that those tools were in no way more "feature complete", nor did they respond to bugs/CR's the way Sparx does (no response was usually the standard)
I guess its a case of "in the land of the blind..." :-/

Geert,
I must say I agree. That's what I'm still a patient EA user...

The head of the ZparxZystems customer relationship centre today re-iterated
their long-standing position on the likelihood of the global mega-corporation
responding to consumer demand.
Well, I've little else to do (while waiting for mulitple select), so I may as well chop lolcats hehehe

Looks rather like a star-goat. I heard that all supporters already have left our planet on several space ships. We should prepare for the upcoming diseases since all the telephone sanitizers have left earth all along.

I'm enjoying the intellectual and comedic stimulus of this thread.
I know I'm not going to get anything from Sparx.
Psst. I've moved to Orbus iServer. It doesn't matter anymore.

Does this thread imply that we would be able to select the [Alt Text] on connectors and use the various alignment/distribution tools on them (both the text and/or the connectors)?

Nope
