Class diagram: suppress parameters for template classes?

[Frank Horn]

When a .Net assembly is imported as binary module, classes using generics end up as "parameterized clases". In a diagram they have (on the right upper corner) a rectangle with a dotted boundary containing the parameters. This can get long if the template types come from different namespaces.

Is there any way to suppress the bloody thing? I just don't want it to show on every diagram, but I can't seem to get rid of it.

I don't think you can get rid of the template box; it seems to be a different classifier rather than a decoration on the class box.

You might be able to shrink it a bit by setting diagram properties - and perhaps global options - to not show namespaces and foreign parents.

Of course you'd have to resize things afterwards.

Let us know.

"Show Namespace" and "Show Additional Parents" have no influence on the contents of the template box. I've submitted a feature request to make showing it an option like it is with attributes, operations a.s.o.

Not good news Frank...

I have some stuff that is 'pretty' now but will likely get unusable when I fill in the blanks for the parameters.

Please let us know if you get any traction at Sparx.
