Connector Color

[Shailen]

Hello,

I've imported a file from rational rose into EA, however the color schema regarding the connectors is not reflected in EA.  Currently they are all black whereas I would like them to be maroon and orange.  Is there a way I can change the color of the connectors without having to re-draw the connectors.

I know I can go to tools>options and then select standard colors, but that doesn't change connectors that already appear on the diagram.

Thanks!

You can either set the Default Appearance for the Connector (select the connector and press F4), or you can use the Format Toolbar (see View | Toolbars | Format Tool).

Thanks for the response Aaron.  Can I only change the colors a single connector at a time?  Is there no way to select multiple connectors?  Only because my model is pretty big with over 200 diagrams.

You can only select one connector at a time unfortunately, however you might consider using the automation interface to iterate through all your connectors and set the color.

The color set through the Default Appearance dialog corresponds to Connector.Color, while the color setting through the Format Toolbar is assigned to DiagramLink.Style.

If you are running the Corporate Edition (or higher) of EA 7.5, you could use the new Scripting window to help do this.
