Application Diagram Enhancements

The current design of the Application Diagramming tool does not provide added benefit for us. Please consider these enhancements

1. Add a configuration to allow the diagramming tool to diagram internal structure only.
2. Add a configuration option to allow to diagramming to appear in a view like the outline does, while still viewing the LPEX editor.
3. Add configuration option to alter the view of the diagram state for instance change from diagramming all references to internal only.
4. Add configuration option to refresh the cache each time like the program verify has.
5. Add the ability to have diagram process run in back ground.


Use Case:

Potential benefits is that the diagram could be built quicker by only needing to use the latest outline data. With an flow outline I more quickly review the sub routine / procedure calls within the program.

Having the diagram in a view like the outline i can used it to more quickly open internal and external call references without the need for Ctrl+Shift+A.

    This RFE has been re-evaluated.  Due to the relatively low number of votes, this RFE is now being declined.

    Scratch number five off this list. This came from a older document and I did not re-evaluate the application diagram tool.
