Set Element Properties by Diagram Type

[Tehila1]

Can element color be changed depending on the diagram type?

I tried the "Template Package"-  I set red class on a Class diagram and a yellow one on a Component diagram.
In any case when I drag a class - even on a Component diagram, its color is red (and not yellow).

What is wrong?

You can set the color locally for each diagram using the toolbox at the top of the diagram or globally using F4. The formatting toolbox at the top of the diagram overrides the global settings. Which method are you using to change the color of the class?

Maybe you got mixed up with your various test. Try with a new blank repository.

Template Package doesn't distinguish between a class on a Class diagram and a class on a Component diagram. EA just copies the first class it finds.

Well, so what is the best way to set different color to non- UML elements (such as Archimate elements), depending on diagram type?

Non UML elements cannot have more than one stereotypes.

Ideas?

Yes, write an add-in...
