actor stereotypes in use case digrams?
« on: December 18, 2008, 03:23:37 am »
Is it possible to display stereotypes for actors in use case diagrams? They do not appear for me now, even when "Show Element Stereotypes" is selected in the Diagrams menu.

Have you tried using rectangular notation for the actor sysmbol?

That sort of works -- stereotype foo is displayed as <<actor,foo>>, but I prefer the stick-figure notation.

Well, I'm not one to explain exactly how to do this, but you might investigate the Shape Script feature of EA.  There is a starting point for you in the help files.
