To show preconditions and post conditions in a compartment, you have to select the Constraints checkbox on the Feature Visibility dialog. That is for a single element (or a group of selected elements).

I have just looked at the posting you linked to. I think what you want (and what Oliver is actually pointing to) is to show the Constraints compartment on all elements in the diagram. So, right-click on the diagram background, select the Properties option, and then click on the Elements tab of the dialog. Select the Constraints checkbox and (as Oliver suggests) the Tags checkbox.

Now, Compartments are only shown on elements in rectangular notation, and Test Cases are usually oval. Unfortunately, you can only change elements to rectangular notation one at a time. One way to get around this (which does not help with existing elements - Test Cases in this instance) is to define the Test Case element just as you want it, in an element Template Package. Look up Template    Package Settings in the Help index.

It would be useful to set Rectangular Notation in the Multiple Selection menu - perhaps you could submit a feature request for this?
Best Regards, Roy

This allows to display the features of  test cases  in the diagram.I would like to knew if it is possible  to do the same think with Show ELement List. (showing a list of all test cases with all their properties like what is shown with show Elment List)

thank you.
