Creating Custom Styles Makes my Cry inside

[Christopher.Steven]

Issue:
So my designer also designs our deliverables since they are visible outside of our department. All of our reports are required to have a font style arial. To do this you have to edit each and every font class... AND if you accidently do something intuitive like select the text and click bold you are now out of sync with what you guys are doing in the background and the changes will not apply to the template...

Resolutions:
either make the style template read only and disable the user from editing without being in edit mode or create a mode selector that turns on edit mode for the entire document and let me go through and make bulk changes.

I agree, it's one of the more "odd" features in Enterprise Architect.
On the other hand, you only have to make the style sheet once. So it's a one-time painful exercise, but the reward is worth the pain.
