Class Relationships - Possible small changes to make it usable

It was a very long time ago but I do remember being extremely excited when I learnt you can right click a class and select Relationships. To see the relationships of a class. Unfortunately it more points out how long winded and interconnected a system is.

I do from time to time diagram the relationships on paper but I think Jade is almost there. Is it possible to do some small changes to this screen to make it usable? Here are some ideas that might help:

  1. Select related class relationships to show/hide. Maybe it would be better to start with no class relationships showing? e.g. If I want to show the relationship from Customer to Account I could 'Add' Account to the view?

  2. Ability to add other related class relationships on the same view. e.g. Customer->allAddresses will show the Class Address. But if I right click Address then add that in; The View could show also the relationships to Address and Customer. e.g. Customer->allAddresses->Address->allLoansAgainst->Loans

  3. I know key and relationship types are shown. Could the lines shown be more standardised especially in regards to many/vs single. e.g. N or 1 above the line, or crows feet?

  4. Is it possible to have an option to show attributes, at least by visibility type?

    Our solution is most likely to be to provide a better interface to existing tools. John R.
