Setting options on objects
« on: October 03, 2006, 07:43:18 am »
Yellooo,

Quick question for you all.  How can I set up EA such that the line style of control flow and object flow is custom line by default?

100,000 thanks in advance

AFAIK you cannot. Line styles (and colours for that matter) seem immune to redefinition.

A good area for some Suggestions and Requests postings if you ask me (he hints).
No, you can't have it!

Thanks midnight, I'll do that. Having to manually change the colour for each object is another of my bug bears . . . . ;)

Dave,

You should look at the "templates package" concept in the documentation. Perhaps that will make object (vs connector) colours more tenable while you wait.

Failing that, an addin that handles EA_OnPostNewConnector should do the job.
