Directed Association from MDG
« on: March 01, 2008, 12:12:42 pm »
I have a custom toolbox via MDG. Everything seems to work fine, except that I need a directed association to be made, and it only makes 'unspecified' associations. Finding no documentation on how or if you can do this, I wrote up an addin to catch the event of my stereotyped association being made, and then attempting to set the direction myself. It doesn't work for some odd reason. I've tried calling just to set the direction, but also setting the navigable fields on the ends w/ and wo/ the direction itself. And I always call update.

Back in EA though, it always comes up as undirected. Why? Is there a fix?

Just a wild guess here...

What if you change the Association Default... setting on the Tools | Options | Links dialog? Does your technology work differently?

PS: I did one of these quite recently - right when build 818 came out. For the life of my I cannot remember which connector I specialized, nor do I remember whether I got it to default to a directed connection. Now for some reason I simply cannot find the file.

Mom always said there'd be those days...   :'(
No, you can't have it!

I appreciate the response -- I tried this and it does work, however it'd be great to not have to rely on the user having this option set. I think more so though it's disconcerting that there seems to be no real reason for this to be occurring.

Thank you though!
