Problems creating a quicklinker
« on: June 30, 2014, 05:31:36 pm »
I have created a handful of stereotypes in version 9.3 and now want to create quick linkers for them.

The following link shows the configuration diagrams for the relevant stereotypes

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yglqo1fllzd6tag/QuickLinker.png

The quick linker I have tried to create is one that creates a new "Parent" link from Project to Programme.

Other things I have tried to configure are:

* Create a new link but NOT a new element.
* Suppress the relationships from the base classes.

The configuration I have used is:

//source element type,source st filter,target element type,target st filter,diagram filter,new element type,new element stereotype,new link type,new link stereotype,new link direction,new link caption,new link and element caption,create link,create element,disallow self connector,exclusiive to st filter + no inherit from metatype,menu group,complexity level,target must be parent,embed element,precedes separator leaf,precedes separator grtoup,dummy column
Class,Project,Class,Programme,Component,,,Association,Parent,directed,Parent,,TRUE,,TRUE,TRUE,,0,,,,,


Any help would be appreciated as I have tried all sorts of combinations out of desperation but have not managed to make it work.

Thanks

Jays  :)

Assuming you are testing this on a Component diagram, have you tried putting a value in column Q (Menu Group)?

Otherwise, send in a support request and somebody will be able to have a closer look at it. (Attach your profile/technology to make it easier to test)

Or perhaps a huge amount of thanks to qwerty for the help from him? Unless, of course, you are helping him to the vast quantities of alcoholic beverage he so richly deserves but couldn't possibly manage on his own...
Best Regards, Roy

Indeed, it would appear that I have been imbibing in the amber liquid myself because of course I meant help FROM, although I have already thanked him personally via email.

Well played!
But seriously, I would NEVER EVER have gotten those quick linkers working without your help!
