hiding the stereotype Labels of Elements and Con..

[stao]

I guess this is a stupid question but i dint find out how to hide the Stereotype labels on Elements and Connectors
Another Question:Can i make the linke of Connectors of the Association type dashed?
And if i want to set the color Attribute of connectors: Which value belongs to which color?

Hi Stao,

You'll need ShapeScripts to do most of what you want to do...

Some of the things can be done manually, but others require ShapeScripts.

Element Stereotypes  can be controlled via the Diagram Properties.
Connector stereotypes can be controlled via the context menu, as is the label visibility.

Line rendering is controlled by ShapeScript.  The RGB colour values can be obtained from the colour pickers...

Shape scripts can also help with the other issues.  But you'll need to read up on them...

HTH,
Paolo

ive done shape scripts already and for elements it works really well.
but  connectors always show the stereotype label even if i dont add the "#stereotype#" addtribute to the connector shape
is there no possibility to hide the label on default?

Hi again Stao,

You need to use the HideLabel method to hide the stereotype for connectors.   Note that the label you need to hide is found by using the Label visibility menu.  Also be aware that reflexive relationships may use DIFFERENT labels than non-reflexive.
