Changing the Diagram Type
« on: July 17, 2009, 05:07:42 pm »
With the UI, you can change the diagram type.  How can you do it via Automation?  The Attribute is READ-ONLY.

TIA,
Paolo

Yup. A real pain.

I think I mentioned this to Sparx some time ago, perhaps in one of my 'omnibus' issue lists. No action on this file in any case.
No, you can't have it!

Sparx have confired the missing functionality and have logged a feature request.

No ETA as yet...

OK. That is probably progress. A few of mine have reached that stage and then gone away. In some of those cases I heard back from Sparx that they were deferring the issue, never with an ETA. Overall most of the ones where Sparx has logged a request have eventually seen the light of day. And for the others there might still be hope. [Though the most recent one that went dead was during the EA 7.0 beta period...]
