HowTo: Set Many Properties at Once?
« on: April 28, 2005, 10:27:47 am »
I need to be able to change the stereotype, and status of many objects / elements at once.

For example, after reverse engineering many BusinessObjects from a VS.NET Project I need to be able to set their status to "implemented", and set their stereotype to "entity", "control", or something else.

Is there a quick way to do this?

Some tasks can be done via context menu of packages: Package Control / Update Package Status. The rest needs programming via the automation interface.

Setting many properties at once is a very useful function.  Some products do this very well.

The "pattern" for this is pretty simple.  If the Sparxians need a hand, they just need to ask the forum... :D

You should submit a bug report.

I need some help with this too. If I reverse engineer a database with a lot of tables, it's a problem because the link between each one has five labels, and I always want to turn some of them off. Right now I am selecting each association and then "Set Visibility | Set Label Visibility". I don't seem to be able to select multiple associations or somehow set a global property for the diagram. This is costing me quite a lot of time on a large database. :-[
[Correction - 6 labels]
