Diagram Legends
« on: August 02, 2007, 02:30:02 pm »
Hello members, i'm begginer in EA and i'm trying to add a legend to my diagrams.

This is my story:

I have some activity diagrams and some activities are about sending mail notifications, another about fill documents... for those activities i changed the background color, but now i need to show what the color means.

I was searching about how to include legends in diagrams but i didn't find anything.

Some help could be great.

Thanks

On newer versions (6.5 and later) there is is a button on the main diagram toolbar (not the toolbox) that adds a legend. Make sure your toolbars are showing, and hover your mouse above each until you find it.

[EDIT: I don't think legends were supported before 6.5, so you'll need to upgrade if you're using something older.]

No, you can't have it!

This Help page is for Release 7.0. but the text pretty much applies to Release 6.5 too.
