Archimate Add-In Bad Drawing
« on: August 16, 2010, 11:57:35 am »
This probably isn't the most elegant way to render text graphically within the Archimate "Product" icon.



I'm sure someone will tell me to fill out a form and submit a bug report and fling that into the echo-less black hole of bug reports ...

All ArchiMate elements are drawn using EA shape scripts. Unfortunately, there is no way in a shape script to change the size of a sub-shape depending on the size of the text that you wish to display in it. Can't think of a work-around that doesn't involve making the element's name shorter. :(

Sounds like a feature request here.
