Suggestion: Drag and drop between EA instances
« on: November 13, 2006, 05:48:39 pm »
Instead of having to do an XMI export /import - be able to drag anything from the project browser in one instance of EA to another project in another EA instance.

This would save me time when merging in models where people have created them disparately or I have worked disconnected and want to re-sync with the main model.

Cheers,
David.

Yes - an implementation could simply be XMI copy to clipboard.... been a long time since I did development with drag and drop, but being able to pass the package as text (XML) should be straight forward enough.
