Connector Field Substitution Macros

This table lists each of the connector field substitution macros.

Field substitution macros are named according to Camel casing. Macros that represent checkboxes return a value of 'T' if the box is selected. Otherwise the value is empty.

connectorAlias

Connector Properties dialog: Alias.

connectorAssociationClassElemGUID

The GUID of the connector's Association Class element.

connectorAssociationClassElemName

The name of the connector's Association Class element.

connectorDestAccess

Connector 'Properties' dialog, 'Target Role' tab: Access.

connectorDestAggregation

Connector 'Properties' dialog, 'Target Role' tab: Aggregation.

connectorDestAlias

Connector 'Properties' dialog, 'Target Role' tab: Alias.

connectorDestAllowDuplicates

connectorDestElem*

A set of macros that access a property of the element at the target end of a connector. The * (asterisk) is a wildcard that corresponds to any Class substitution macro in the Class macro list. For example:

  • connectorDestElemAlias (classAlias)
  • connectorDestElemAuthor (classAuthor)

 Class Field Substitution Macros

connectorDestElemType

The element type of the connector destination element. (Separate from the connectorDestElem* macros because there is no classType substitution macro.)

connectorDestFeature*

A set of macros that access a property of the feature at the target end of a connector. The * (asterisk) is a wildcard that corresponds to any attribute or operation substitution macro in the Attribute macro or Operation macro list, depending on the connectorDestFeatureType.

For example:

  • connectorDestFeatureReturnClassifierGUID - an Operation's return classifier GUID
  • connectorDestFeatureContainment - an Attribute's containment

connectorDestFeatureType

The type of the connector destination feature.
