Is it possible to, given an element on the diagram, add all related elements to it onto the diagram? A similar feature exists in Sparx EA, and is very handy for populating a large diagram quickly.

Hi,
Quote:Another reason I ask, besides the efficiency, is that it seems the way you add elements onto the class diagram matters: if I drag and drop a whole lot of associations at once, classes for them will be duplicated:
Yes, this is a known issue. The workaround is: drop all nodes, then drop all links.
When you right click on an element (or a set of elements), you can use Navigate > Restore related elements. It will restore the incoming/outcoming links to/from the selected element(s). However, I think it will not restore the related nodes, i.e. it will restore the Association link only if the target Classifier is already displayed on the diagram.
Regards,
Camille

Yes, exactly.
The second option (restore elements) should also restore the links which are not semantic UML elements (e.g. Comment link, Constraint link...), which may not be displayed by the first option (drop links).
