Change the font for the class attributes

[Guillaume]

Hi,

EA makes it possible to choose the colour of the font for the attributes and operations of the classes in a project (set in the EA Client).

Is there a way via a UML profile or other to change the font, at least the font size), for the attributes and operations of the classes?

thanks
Guillaume

Not independently from other fonts.

I recommend moving the Zoom slider on the status bar, as this allows a larger font without impacting other users of the model.

Alternatively, Tools | Options | Diagram | Appearance | Configure Default Element Fonts allows you to change the actual fonts. The problem with this is that it does require changing layouts of any existing diagrams as the text may not fit into the space previously allowed.

Hi Simon,

I have the need to achieve this for a project, so I've submitted a feature request.

Thanks

A word of advice, a feature request is going to get more traction if you explain what goal you are trying to achieve (and why it would benefit our user base in general) instead of a generic "I need this". For the same reason, a "+1" is less useful than "this would allow me to do x".

This would allow me to highlight attributes in my documentation to emphasise usage, types, categories, and so on.
I'd like to see the full range of formatting being available: size, colour, background colour, type-face, font-style, text-decoration.

If I understand correctly, you're wanting to select one or more attributes on a class and change formatting for them, which appears to be a completely unrelated request to the original request (at least the way I read it) that wanted to increase the size of all attributes/operations in some/all classes.

I see your point.
I was focussing on the "or other", thanks Simon
