UMLRightClickActionsTable

[[{TableOfContentsTitle=TableOfContents} | {TableOfContents title='Table of Contents'}]]

This document will be used to specify the context menu actions for nodes and edges on a diagram. The actions that are italizied still need to be added to the new diagram editor, "---" marks the location of seperators.

Note: The Colors & Fonts menu item will be renamed to Fonts & Colors to be consistent with the NetBeans Options tab title.
Note: The Paste Action will only be avaliable on the Diagram menu. The reason for this change is that the user is not able to paste as a child of another node.

Node Actions

The following set of actions are a standard set of actions for all nodes. In the following sections only the model elements that have added additional actions will be specified. To make it easy to understand which actions are unique to the model element type, the additional actions will be in bold.

Actions Moved to UML.next

Lock Edit: The Lock Edit actions marks the model element as read only.
Set Dimensions: Used to change the size of a node on the diagram. A dialog will appear and allow the new size to be entered. This may need to be in for NetBeans 6.5 to support Accessibility.
Associate With: The association with action is used to associate a model element with another model element. Once a model element is associated the double click action will navigate to the associated model element.
Transform Actions: The transform actions will change the type of a model element. For example a Class could be transformed into an Interface. In order to transform a class in to an interface the methods will become abstract.
Show/Hide: The ability to show and hide the nodes that are connected via edges.
Edge Fonts & Colors: In 6.5 we are not allowing edges to change there font and colors. In the end it should be very similar to the font and colors on the node.
