I have 2 Modules A and B. Objects in A link to B. Boss says the links are going the wrong way; they need to go from B to A. But not in every case, just most of them. Is there a quick programatic way to delete a link from 'A.object to B.object' and replace it with 'B.object to A.object'?

Search for Reverse links in these forums, you will find an old discussion on link reversal with atteched DXL script.

If you want to do this with menu functionality then the following is what you need

1. Run the analysis wizard and just get the absolute number from the other end of the link
2. Use the 'convert layout dxl to attribute dxl' menu item
3. Link by attribute using the attribute dxl

That is a really good suggestion on doing link reversal!

Yet another...
Attached is a 'no frills' DXL to reverse links between modules.
After you create the new links, you then just delete the old link paring to remove the existing links.
