Removing Elements from the Diagram

Just as a distinction is made when adding model elements to diagrams between the creation of a new and the adding of an existing element, a distinction is also made when removing an element between its deletion from the model and its removal from a diagram.

Context

Just as a distinction is made when adding model elements to diagrams between the creation of a new and the adding of an existing element, a distinction is also made when removing an element between its deletion from the model and its removal from a diagram.

The removed diagram elements still exist in the model and can be reinserted into the diagram from the model structure or other tool windows. Certain elements can only be reinserted using the selection button that always appears once at least one element has been removed, e.g. attributes in the Attributes compartment of classes..

How to proceed

  1. Select the diagram element you want to remove.

  2. Select Design>Edit>Remove from Diagram (Del).

    The selected elements are removed from the diagram.
