Can't select alternate image for <<device>
« on: March 02, 2006, 02:38:34 am »
I am using EA 6.1, Build 785. After having created a device element with stereoptype <<device>> I don't get offered the menu item
Appearance --> Select Alternate Image when this element is selected in a deployment diagram.
Why ? What is so special with <<device>> ?

Per UML spec the Device "is_a" Node, so the <<device>> does not denote a stereotype but rather is a keyword.
The same is true for ExecutionEnvironment.
In fact, both elements do *not* offer to set an alternate image, which I also was looking for.

I don't see a reason for this as <<artifact>> also is a derived element but offers the missing menu.

Hint: You should be able to set a stereotype, and then you can change appearance for these stereotype'd elements in Settings->UML->stereotypes.

Please find this option has been enabled for both Device and ExecutionEnvironment in 789.  

Thanks for drawing this to our attention.
