Entity Stereotype on Object Diagram
« on: July 26, 2010, 06:00:58 pm »
Hello

I'm having a problem with maintaining a UML class symbol after defining an object as an entity stereotype on an object diagram. I drag a class symbol onto my object diagram and it looks fine. When I change the stereotype property to 'entity', the class symbol changes to an entity object symbol commonly used in analysis diagrams. What am I doing incorrectly?

You doing nothing wrong.
What you are seeing is the standard EA implementation of the ECB pattern.
Have you tried disabling the alternate image for the entity stereotype in Settings/UML ? (I think it comes standard with a metafile definition)

Unfortunately it doesn't, the drawing instructions are hard-coded in EA. Try switching off the option "Diagram > Properties > Elements > Use Stereotype Icons".
