Newlines in Connector Labels

[THADC]

Hello, is there a way to place newlines inn connector labels? Using the size adjusters right on the diagram is ok, but it does not allow me to align line-by-line in the label exactly as I would like.

Grateful for any response. Thank you.

I guess you can't. EA even filters newline chars when trying to paste them into the connector name. Maybe a script can bypass the filtering?

P.S. Yes. A script lets you place newline chars and the text is wrapped at that place. Why does the API prevent that???

Thank you. That was helpful. I am too much of a newbie right now to create scripts, but could see myself getting into that down the road.

I used a Perl script:

Code: [Select]

my $rep = $ENV{'REP'};
my $e = $rep->GetTreeSelectedObject();
my $con  = $e->Connectors->GetAt(0);
$con->{Name} = "new\nname";
$con->Update();
just to test it. For a regular use some nice add-in with a dialogue is to be preferred. For the first steps I (of course) can recommend my Scripting book. If you want to see some advanced stuff (C-something) check out Geerts add-in framework.
