Move connector between elements
« on: July 31, 2006, 02:03:13 pm »
Say you have an activity diagram with activities A, B with a control path from A -> B.  You want to add activity C and have the following path A -> C -> B

It would be nice to be able to:
1. Grab the connector between A -> B at the B (target end)
2. Drag it across to C
thus deleting the connection from A -> B and "re-using" it to make A -> C

The above should also work for like minded relationship and elements types. (ie. associations between classes etc...)

Saves having to delete and re-add new connectors.

Cheers,
David.

Hold down shift, click on the connector near B, click on C.
