Separate toolbars for floating diagrams
« on: March 13, 2012, 01:45:34 am »
Hi all,

It would be really useful if the diagram toolbar (not the toolbox) could be included in each floating diagram.
At present, you have to click inside the diagram to give it focus and then click the toolbar button, which may be far away on the desktop.

An option in the Customize menu to control whether the diagram toolbar should be per-diagram or not would be acceptable, but I'd be just as happy with having the toolbar moved to the individual diagrams.

Thoughts?

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

I don't use the toolbar at all (except for seldom cases where I have to synch stereotypes; and for structured toolboxes). I just press the space bar which gives me the same content (except for structured toolboxes which do not work correctly here).

I'm finding the Diagram toolbar (the one that defaults at the top of the diagram workspace) increasingly morew useful as I customize it.

So I agree with Uffe:  Please place the Diagram toolbar on each diagram as it is floated.

Now I read more carefully. I see you are talking about something different. Please forget my comment....

And yes. I agree.
