Automatically formatting classes/objects?

[mmo]

I am drawing a rather large class diagram and it would be handy, if EA could automatically format (e.g. assign a specific fill color) to objects that fulfill a specific condition (in my case: classes that implement a specific method or interface). Is that easily doable or would that require some scripting? And if the latter: can one trigger scripts to automatically run, e.g. when opening a diagram?

I guess you'll have to write a script/add-in to do so.
EA has a number of events that you can use to execute your add-in code before or after certain manipulations in EA. You could be able to find an event that gets triggered when opening a diagram.

Or you stereotype those elements accordingly and assign shape scripts which do the formatting.

As qwerty says, and you can write the shape script to react according to the setting of an element property, although I'm not sure you can get it as finely-tuned as the situation you have described here.
