XTools: improve user workflow when creating XTools instance diagrams #111

Open jgulden opened 7 years ago

jgulden commented 7 years ago

When an instance diagram is created in XTools, currently the procedure consists of three steps:

  1. Objects -> Add Element, to create a new model instance (still without diagram)
  2. on the created element -> Create Diagram, to create a corresponding diagram (still invisible)
  3. double-click on created diagram to open the diagram

There should be the possibility to perform all three steps at once, i.e., a function "Open New Diagram" should be available, which creates a model instance ("snapshot"), a corresponding diagram, and opens the diagram.
