show notes on all requirements everywhere

[Tim Pigden]

Is there a way I can globally change the behaviour of the system so that it will always display notes on a requirement in a compartment without having to go round every single diagram and change them individually?

If I can't do it with existing diagram can I use a profile and set them to display in that (I tried but it didn't seem to work).

Failing that, can I "subclass" a diagram so that it's requirements will always display the notes?

Thanks
Tim

On a diagram you of course can tell it to display these compartments... and as "Requirements" is one of the options that would do it on a diagram by diagram basis.

You might be able to create a stereotype and shape script to accomplish want you need. (See EA Help under index: Shape Scripts, Display Element Properties, would just need a shape script using the print functions to display the notes field for your stereotype )

"...The commands print, println, and printwrapped all take a string parameter representing the text to be printed. Element and connector properties can be added to the text using the substitution macro #propertyname#. For example: println("name: #NAME#");"

If this is your need, then we all should be able to come up with a way... Just help me understand better and I will help you online on this thread or offline via message)

NOTE: It would be great if the community increases the posting/sharing solutions directly in the threads so we can all benefit and refine/study the solutions.
