Styles

[olivers]

Hi!

There are two things I find lacking about styles:

- Fonts are not saved together with the style
- I can't set a style for the link of an object in the current diagram, but always only for the object itself.

To explain the second point: For example, I have a database modell with a lot of tables (~50) and a lot of dependencies. I have several diagrams that are grouped logically and each of which contains some tables on the respective "topic". Now, each of these diagrams also shows some additional tables (that are primarily grouped under another topic) which have a relationship to the ones in that diagram. These additional tables provide context for the diagram so the viewer can see the closest related tables in addition to those which are defined in the diagram.
I'd like to set a style for the "secondary" tables in each diagram (like, a different background color) to distinguish them from the "primary" tables. But of course, in the other diagram where these tables are the "primary" tables, I still want them to look the same they used to. Is that clear?

Am I missing something? If not, any chance such a function may be introduced in the future?

Hello,

Currently the style of an object is stored with the object itself, therefore it will have the same style on all diagrams.  We will add your request to our list of possible future enhancements and we will look at including this early in the new year (as our schedule is quite full until this time).  Thanks for your feedback.
