Can nameVisible default = True for whiteboard dgrm

[Tom Theimer]

Does anyone know if its possible to cause the nameVisible property of whiteboard elements to be set to True by default.  I don't think I've ever used an element in a whiteboard without wanting the name displayed.  Sketching up a new idea can be rather tedious when this property needs to be set every time.  Thanks.

I guess the only way is to write an add-in that subscribes to the EA_OnPostNewDiagramObject event and alters the tagged value.

It's worth a try to see of the template package helps you out here.

Hi - has anyone revisited this? Can elements on a whiteboard diagram display the name by default. This is a real pain for my client where they want to draw more freehand "context" diagrams.

Many thanks,

John

The whiteboard elements are (AFAIK) just shape scripts. You could modify them on your own risk. I'm probably not allowed to tell how because of copyright infringements. But it has been explained on this board.
