Code Map: From Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate to Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise

This post details incremental improvements to Visual Studio's Code Map feature between versions 2013 RTM and 2015 RTM. Key enhancements include a simplified Architecture menu for more useful code maps grouped by solution folders, new ways to quickly create code maps (blank or from selection), faster map creation and editing with "Skip rebuilding your solution" option, ability to create diagrams from Class View, Object Browser, and File Explorer via drag-and-drop, code elements appearing with context (assembly and solution folder), filtering of code element nodes and groups (by category, solution folders, assemblies, namespaces, project folders, types, and test projects), filtering of relationships (inheritance, calls), 'Drill-in into dependency links' respecting filters, and simplified context menus with more intuitive icons and independent group layout.
