Custom profile diagram
« on: July 12, 2016, 03:07:33 pm »
Hi Everyone
I am creating a set of custom diagrams at the moment in Sparx 9.2. I would like to have a current state diagram with one colour,  and future state diagrams of another colour.

Can anyone tell me if there are attributes to do this please in the mdg/profile model?
I.e I am assuming it is an attributes on the stereotype but cannot find any reference to one.

Spent all say today trying to solve it.

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Hard to tell. You can use a tagged value for your state and have a shape script react to it and set the color accordingly.

Don't think you can with V9.2 other than writing a script or doing it manually.
In V12.1 you can set the legend to auto colour the elements depending upon various attributes including tagged values. Suggest using status where the value 'proposed' could be future state and 'implemented' is current state.
Thinks I saw something about an enhanced feature in V13 to deal with current and future state so maybe check that out too.
So it might be worth upgrading
Happy to help
:)
