Author Topic: Connector Labels Visibility (Read 5137 times)

I seem to struggle to get EA to show the label of my connectors, thus if I draw a used by connection between two objects, the label "used by" is automatically displayed. What am I missing?

I suspect this is a stereotype if it displays <<used by>>

Yes, but I do not get the connector to display that. It would be nice for when it is drawn, the connector stereotype is displayed so that other users of the diagram knows what that line means.

Check the diagram properties/Connectors/Show Stereotype Labels

Everything I could put my mouse on, was ticked, but to no avail. I was wondering if there is a universal setting missing or do I have a bug?

Check Settings/UML Types for existence of that stereotype. Maybe a shape script is active.

Or you have a loaded profile which slurps the stereotype with the same method.

How do I check for any scripts. I am using the Archimate notation.

There you are. The Archimate UsedBy has the following script:

Code: [Select]

// ArchiMate_UsedBy, 10/11/2008

shape main
{
      noshadow=true;
      lineto(100,0);
}

label middlebottomlabel
{
      print("");
}

Thanks, but now how do I change the scripts to actually display all labels?

Either you change the profile or you use a simple Dependency and apply the stereotype manually.
