When you open a project which was created in an earlier version of CCM, you now have the option to retain Generalization Set Names, or remove them for a cleaner, less-cluttered look.


To remove generalization set names

  1. Open your desired project. The generalization set name, in this case "(set 1)", will be visible, as shown on the diagram below.

  2. The Remove generalization set names dialog will also appear.

  3. Select Yes to remove all generalization set names, and your diagram will appear with the set name removed, as shown in the diagram below.

    Selecting the Do Not Show Again check box in the Remove generalization set names dialog, will suppress the dialog the next time you open your project.



You also have the option to suppress the Remove the Generalization set names dialog, so that it does not ask you every time you open a project if you would like to remove or retain the generalization set name.

  1. Click Options>Project.



  2. Select General, then Concept Modeling.
