GUI Feature: Select Connected
« on: March 18, 2010, 08:37:43 pm »
Hi!

Here's a GUI feature I'd like: select one or more elements in a diagram, right-click, choose "Select Connected."
This causes the GUI to add to the current selection all (previously non-selected) elements in the diagram which are connected to one of the elements in the original selection.
Great for moving things around in a complex diagram with hand-drawn layout.
Cheers,

/Uffe
My theories are always correct, just apply them to the right reality.

Hi Uffe,

Is that all elements visibly connected or also those invisibly connected (since you can hide relationships on a diagram)?

Good idea, though!

I presume you mean immediately connected (depth 1).
Also like this to apply to connectors.
Suggestion: visibly connected only.
