Question
How can you delete a port from a component diagram in IBM Rational Software Architect and in IBM Rational Software Modeler?
Cause
If you right click a port on a component diagram, the Delete from Diagram context menu entry is inactive.
It is not clear how you can delete the port from the component diagram without also deleting it from the model.
Answer
SOLUTION
- Select the component on which the port appears
- Clear the component's Properties > Appearance > White box check box (The White box property appears at the bottom of the tab. By default, it is active.)
- Save the changes
- Right click on the port on the component diagram
Result: The Delete from Diagram entry now appears on the port's context menu.
