Update default diagram size, font size

[rnv]

Hi,

Please help me with some basics.

how can i change the font, line length between objects of automatically created diagrams?

explanation:
I have use case scenarios from which i create activity diagrams automatically. The problem the diagram extends to more than one page because the lines connecting actions are too long. Also since the font is small when i print it is difficult to read.

with best regards,
rnv

From my Inside EA book:

DiagramObject StyleEx Property
Even more semi-colon stuff:
Dockable=on;DUID=BA09D7A8;VPartition=1;LCol=0;BCol=14938876;BFol=0; font=ARIAL;fontsz=80;bold=0;italic=0;ul=0;charset=0;pitch=0;
A part of these are detailed in Sparx’ automation object reference. From t_diagramobject.StyleEx

That might get you on the track.

Each DiagramObject has a StyleEx property which is a string. You need to parse it an manipulate the according entries (e.g. to italic=1;) or you must add it if not in the list. Then save it. Once you reload the diagram the changes should be visible.
