Diagram Properties

[Doug Blake]

I have a couple of hundred diagrams that I want to change properties for.
Use Alias if Available and Show Namespace.
I have exported the package but when I change one parameter, more than 1 part of the XML code is changed. Does anyone know what I need to change? I think the Alias one is easy, but the Namespace one eludes me.

Of course it would be better if I could select all the diagrams and do it in one go, but thats Sparx for you.

You need to write a script that adds/changes Diagram.ExtendedStyle so it contains

Code: [Select]

UseAlias=1;Also you need to t_diagram.ShowForeign to 0 (IIRC you can only do that in the table and not via API).

For the Namespace you may do it with a script to iterate through your package and change all diagrams.

Something like that: ( I copied it from my project and use the Fully qualified name, not only the Namespace).

Code: [Select]

EA.Diagram ndiagram = null;

                EA.EventProperty newdiagram = (EA.EventProperty)info.Get("DiagramID");
                ndiagram = repository.GetDiagramByID(int.Parse(newdiagram.Value.ToString()));


            string olddiagramtags = ENARTalis_main.delxml(repository.SQLQuery("Select StyleEx from t_diagram WHERE Diagram_ID=" + ndiagram.DiagramID + ""));
            if (diagram_showFQN == true) // Fully qualified name
            {
                 string olddiagramtags2 = ENARTalis_main.delxml(repository.SQLQuery("Select StyleEx from t_diagram WHERE Diagram_ID=" + ndiagram.DiagramID + ""));
                 if (olddiagramtags2.Length >= 10)
                 {
                     if (olddiagramtags2.Contains("ShowFQN=1;"))
                     {
                         //Do nothing
                     }
                     else if (olddiagramtags2.Contains("ShowFQN=0;"))
                     {
                         //string zerlegen und showFQN=1 einsetzen
                         string[] diaspilt = olddiagramtags2.Split(new string[] { "ShowFQN=0;" }, StringSplitOptions.None);
                         string olddt = diaspilt[0] + "ShowFQN=1;" + diaspilt[1];
                         repository.Execute("Update t_diagram SET StyleEx='" + olddt + "' WHERE Diagram_ID=" + ndiagram.DiagramID + "");
                     }
                     else
                     {
                         //Add FQN
                         string olddt = olddiagramtags2 + "ShowFQN=1;";
                         repository.Execute("Update t_diagram SET StyleEx='" + olddt + "' WHERE Diagram_ID=" + ndiagram.DiagramID + "");
                     }
                 }
            }

Unfortunately I haven't seen a way to do it with the correct API.
