How to highlight elmt. features in class diagram?
« on: July 16, 2014, 02:59:53 am »
Hi,

I'd like to highlight certain class attributes / operations in my class diagram.

How can I do that in EA 10?

Best regards

Patrick

You can show all attributes and/or operations by setting feature visibility (see Diagram properties)...you can also add a note connect it to a specific class, right click on the connector and select 'Link this note to an element feature'....

Not sure if you can highlight a specific attribute/operation...

AFAIK you can't. Even with shape script I would not know how to do that.

Funny you should mention this.
I'm sure I once had a post asking for this, but the response was why would anyone ant this?

But in my search I uncovered:
Consistent Diagram Item rendering proposal
Allow ALL 5 aspects to be set via Default Appearan
Editing of class properties
Consistent Rendering of Text for Classes etc.
Orthogonality rules
Position and Team disestablished, thanks austerity.
