Code generation settings

[davemord]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure correctly EA to generate my code. There is only one thing that bother me and I'm not able to fix it. I can't find the place to set the indent size option in Enterprise Architect. In Visual Studio, i set the indent space to 2 (insert space instead of tab), but when I generate my code, it generates it with a tab of 4. How can I change it?

Thank you
Dave

Hey Dave,

Perhaps the PI macro is what you need. It seems to be a general cure-all for whitespace woes.

There is an @indent attribute for the %list construct, but I don't know if it will help here. Nor do I think the analogous attribute for class declarations will work. But check them out; I think they are listed in EA help as Control Macros.

There's also a Function Macro [I think that's the title in EA help] for something similar, but once again I am not sure.

Please let us know if you find it.

David

Most of the indenting in code templates is generated from the indent qualifier in the various list calls.  You'll currently see something like this.

%list="Class" @indent="\t" @separator="\n\n"%
