Project Template Package: Connector Line Style?
« on: August 23, 2012, 06:59:00 pm »
Hi folks,

is it possible to define the default line style (lateral, orthogonal,... ) of a connector with the project template package?

I tried this currently, but it doesn't work. All the other elements like states or activities behave in the correct way and are created from the templates defined in the project template package?

Thanks!

Jonathan

Jonathan,

The default line style is defined in the options.
There's a separate option to use tree style for generalization/realization

Geert,

thanks for the answer, but that is not what I am looking for. When I open the context menu of a connector I can select some more line styles (Tree Style, Lateral, Orthogonal) than the ones selectable in the Tools/Options/Links default line style menu (Direct, Auto Routing, Custom).

Unfortunately it's not a generalization diagram where I want the connectors to have the default style "orthogonal"...

Any other ideas?

I know, that is apparently a limitation in EA, there's also no keyboard shortcut for those "new" styles.

You could always send in a feature request

Hi Geert,

I just did that. Hopefully it will be available in one of the next builds.
