Override Common toolbox

[Uffe]

Hi!

I'm trying to put together an MDG Technology where I want to get rid of all proper model elements and connectors (eg artifact, information flow) from the Common toolbox, leaving only diagram objects.

I can create the toolbox OK, but I can't remove the Common one.
There are two problems I'm running into.

1) Overriding default toolboxes, as described in the help file, doesn't seem to work. I have tried overriding the Class toolbox in the manner described, but the default toolbox still opens up in all Class diagrams (old and new).

2) The help file's list of EA toolboxes does not include the Common toolbox. Does that mean the Common toolbox can't be overridden?

Cheers,

I'd be interested in a solution too. Tried that a while ago but put it on ice as I did not find any solution.

A custom diagram can be another option, see my first post.

I remember being able to override the standard use case toolbox with my own.

The trick was to put the magic string in the «toolbox profile» package notes since I generate the profile from the package.

RedefinedToolbox=UML::UseCase;Alias=Use Case;Notes=Elements for modelling use cases;

If you generate the profile from a diagram (I don't know why you would do that, but that's another thing) you should put that magic string in the diagram notes.

Because in that case EA will render the same style information from the object. At least that's (IIRC) written somewhere in their help.

That isn't a problem if you set the default appearance of your stereotype element. (and is not applicable to a toolbox profile of course)
I think in case you want to use the same element in different profiles you have to use the diagram instead of the package.
