Modeling assistants
Based on a concept from GMF, this feature makes the diagram editor more user-friendly. Modeling assistants ease the creation or insertion of elements and links on the diagram.
The modeling assistants work in three ways:
Element creation through a popup toolbar on the diagram.
Link creation with connection handlers on elements sides.
Link and element insertion with connection handlers.
