Diagram Note Element - Toolbox item?

[Paolo F Cantoni]

Is it possible to create a toolbox item within an MDG that will create a Diagram Note Element?

TIA,
Paolo

Hi Paolo,


I'm pretty sure it isn't.

The diagram (property) note is an element of Type "Text" and Subtype 18 (t_object.Object_Type and .NType, respectively), but AFAIK there's no way to specify Subtype in an MDG Technology.

Yes Uffe,

That's what I was afraid of...  We actually stereotype our Title Blocks (as part of our overnight processing) so that we can apply a shapescript and get a nice rendering for them (more like a real Title Block).

Thanks anyhow.

Use "UML::DiagramNotes"

EDIT: A useful help page is Elements Used in Toolboxes

Thanks, Neil.  I'm not intending to use it immediately, but it may be an option - especially since we use stereotyped Diagram Note Elements in our repository.
