TBC: Indirect Instances

Finally!

For months my coworker has had a neat feature enabled in his TopBraid Composer where from a parent class the instance count of child, subchild, etc are indicated at the parent level in parenthesis. This is a nice feature because it saves you from drilling down class trees to find where your instances are.

Only problem was he couldn't recall how he enabled the feature and it wasn't an option in the Window > Preferences > TopBraid Composer list. I stumbled into it under the "Instances" window options. Its the last option with the label "Show indirect instances":

This feature definitely reduces my instance hunting time, modeling life just got easier.
