Displaying notes in diagrams does not work
« on: June 11, 2012, 07:50:00 pm »
Hi,

Once I have seen an EA model in which the notes of activities in an activity diagrams were shown as Notes elements. I could not even directly edit these linked Notes element, but the Notes field of the related activity only.

Now I'd like to have this functionality in one of my models but I seem to be unable to succeed.

I have checked the Show Sequene Notes checkbox on diagram properties (Diagram tab) and Notes in the Elements tab, yet nothing is displayed. It was just important to make operations behind an activity visible as linked notes.

Anyone a good tip?

Gus

You need to:

- Add a note to a diagram
- Associate the note with an element
- Click on the connector between the note and the element
- Right-click to bring up the context menu and choose "Link note to element feature"  then choose what you want to display in the note
