Class names on different diagrams, same package

[PaulH]

Why doesn't EA detect that you have two classes of the same name within the same scope and stop you creating the second one?

It seems to be that you have to cut and paste a class instance from one diagram to another to ensure that it's the same entity - any other method available?

1- I remember having turned of the warning in Rose per default because duplicate names were not to avoid in most cases So this is likely intentional in EA.

2- Drag the objects from the browser onto the diagram. Try Ctrl-Drag if you turned of the instance/link dialog. You can choose what behaviour a drag shall have.
