The act of deleting objects that have incoming links has gotten to be a big pain point for myself and many of my coworkers (i.e. - navigating back to the source object, searching through link properties, finding the appropriate link, deleting the link, and then going back and deleting the object in question). Since this seems like such a convoluted process, I'm wondering what others think about it and if people have implemented tools to make this process more intuitive for end users. |

You can use the built-in menu item "Link" -> "Edit Links..." to display all incoming
and outgoing links for the current object. You can then selectively delete them, provided that you have write access to the source of the link. -Dennis |

Its not tough to write a DXL that will trace all the incoming links to the current object, open the modules Edit, delete the links, then delete the object. See attached for an outline.
I think the real issue for you is your policies regarding deleting objects with incoming links. If there are other objects depending on this object you probably WANT to manually deal with those other objects BEFORE deleting the original. If a SubSystem requirement "satisfies" a System requirement by linking to it and you want to delete the System requirement, you also should, I suspect, consider deleting the possibly now-gold-plated SubSystem requirement. - Louie |
