Display name on thin arrows
« on: July 15, 2015, 11:03:53 am »
Hand drawn diagram:

How do I display the name of the thin arrow?
There is no 'Whiteboard' setting with fill or nameVisible options.

Orthogonality rules

Corollary:
How do I make the arrow thinner than this, this doesn't seem thin enough for me!

Draw a directed association between two boundaries you made invisible :-X
(e.g. by creating a stereotype <<invisible>> that has an empty shape script)

So kludgy, and not very usable for the run of the mill user.

Now if we could just have some decent upgrades to diagrams...

The kind of thing you're trying to do is nothing more than applying an alternate image to an element.

Then you can make it as thin as you like and the name will be displayed by default.

There is a minimum size for diagram objects - I think it's 10x10 - so "thin" arrows can't go any thinner.
