6.2.2. The Edit Menu
Under this menu item find the options for cutting, copying, and pasting. These actions can also be performed using the Ctrl X, Ctrl
C, and Ctrl V key combinations. Undo a deletion using the UNDO DELETE 'OBJECT_NAME' option. The Ctrl Z key combination can
also be used to undo an operation.
Also find a DELETE 'OBJECT_NAME' menu item for removing the currently selected object. The text description for this menu item
changes to reflect the name of the currently selected object. The keyboard command for this action is Ctrl Delete. You can also
right click an object and choose the delete option from the pop-up menu.
The DELETE 'OBJECT_NAME' menu item behaves differently depending upon circumstances. For instance, if an EER DIAGRAM is
active and a table on the canvas is the currently selected object, a dialog box may open asking whether you want to remove the table
from the canvas only or from the database as well. For setting the default behavior when deleting from an EER Diagram see
Section 6.2.8.6, “The Advanced Tab”.
Warning
If the MySQL Model page is active, the selected object will be deleted from the catalog and there will be no confirmation
dialog box.
Choose RENAME or EDIT SELECTED to edit the currently selected object. You can also perform edits in a new window using the
EDIT SELECTED IN NEW WINDOW. The keyboard shortcut for EDIT SELECTED is Ctrl E and Ctrl Shift E for EDIT SELECTED IN
NEW WINDOW.
The SELECT option has the following submenus:
• SELECT ALL (Keyboard shortcut, Ctrl A) – Select all the objects on the active EER diagram.
• SIMILAR FIGURES (Objects of the same type) – Use this option to find objects similar to the currently selected object.
• CONNECTED FIGURES – Use this option to find all the objects connected to the currently selected object.
These menu items are only active when an EER DIAGRAM tab is selected. The SIMILAR FIGURES and the CONNECTED FIGURES
menu options are disabled if no object is currently selected on an EER diagram.
When multiple objects have been selected using one of these menu options, you can navigate between selected items by choosing
the GO TO NEXT SELECTED or GO TO PREVIOUS SELECTED menu options.
Selecting items changes some of the EDIT menu options. If only one object is selected, that object's name appears after the CUT,
COPY and DELETE menu options. If more than one object is selected, these menu items show the number of objects selected.
6.2.2.1. Find Dialog Window (Commercial Version)
Use the FIND option to open a dialog window used for locating objects.
