[kepler-dev] Fwd: Replacing an actor

[Christopher Brooks]

All:

Does this ring any bells?

One tricky part is that it would be difficult to indicate that the 
initial actor should be replaced and not just deleted entirely. Dragging 
the new actor on top of the old actor and then dropping is one 
possibility.  It might be necessary to ask the author if this is what 
they want to do, I can see how it would be confusing

I suppose one way to do this would be to identify an actor or set of 
actors, create a temporary composite (we already have this 
functionality), then replace the contents of the composite with the new 
composite, then remove the composite.

Christopher,

I vaguely recall that Kepler has a facility for replacing an actor with
another, keeping its connections and parameters. Do you have an easy
way to search for that and point me to the code? I would like to use
this for updating accessors.
