<![CDATA[Visual organising tools]]>Hi

I think it would be neat if there was a simple tool to draw and label boxes around actors. It would be useful (to me, at least) to be able to visually group related actors, or 'sub-systems', so as to distinguish their group function. Perhaps an 'actor color' tool? Or a 'group and shrink' function? Creating user actors is a possible method for keeping things neat on the screen, but it's main function is to make complex systems readily available in other scenes & projects. I'm just thinking about single projects and experimental workflow.
Cheers
Anthony

It's like a user actor but just an individual isolated instance and it does what the group and shrink tool you envisioned would do but slower.

Or you can add a comment "actor" as you can see in the screenshot.
