Helping Keep a Clean Repository

One of the unsexy but very vital chores is trying to keep the repository of elements clean (and consistent). What happens if you find that there are duplicate elements? You have to choose one and then substitute the good one for the deprecated one in every view. This can take ages.

Help is on its way. What I'm working on is a special view where you drag the 2 (or more) elements and then run a script which will then find and replace the deprecated object in all the views that it appears in. In doing so it has the same size and position and the same connectors (relationships) taken from the deprecated object.

This will take a little while - mostly trying to test and anticipate possible error conditions.
