Description Emilien Perico CLA 2010-03-09 06:09:28 EST 
It would be useful if the user could transform a model element to another, according to its derived element. Sometimes the user created an element and want to change it. 

The feature should change the element in the model and graphically, keeping the same common properties.
Comment 1 Emilien Perico CLA 2010-03-12 10:12:32 EST 
implemented. The action is available on model explorer view. 
Remaining task: Add it to the graphical editor
Comment 2 Yann Tanguy CLA 2010-07-21 13:03:19 EDT 
Possible regression in "new" model explorer.
Comment 3 Tristan Faure CLA 2012-03-14 08:58:06 EDT 
the new model explorer is now managed
Comment 4 Tristan Faure CLA 2012-03-15 10:47:45 EDT 
disable the feature and wait more advanced test
Comment 5 Toni Siljamäki CLA 2013-10-10 08:28:16 EDT 
Should what is requested really be supported?
Sounds quite risky, like anything can go wrong...
Comment 6 Sébastien Gérard CLA 2013-10-10 08:34:59 EDT 
Hi Toni,

here the idea is to provide a kind of "refactoring" action, e.g. transforming a class into an interface and vice-versa, or a signal into datatype and vice versa, a package into a model and vice-versa, etc.

OK. Phew... :)
