Change default element and connector appearance
« on: April 13, 2018, 05:49:28 am »

We would like to change the appearance of connectors and elements within our diagrams in ways not available in the 'Default Appearance' dialog. For instance, we would like to make an Information Flow a solid line rather than dashed and make a standard UML component element have rounded corners (like the Archimate::ApplicationComponent elements), among several other changes. I've tried using Shape Script to accomplish this, but it seems pretty heavy handed for these seemingly simple changes (plus our systems engineers don't know how to code their way out of a paper bag). Is there a way to accomplish these types of appearance changes?

qwerty

Shape script is the only way out here, I guess.

Shapescripts is the option, I've always found https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Shapescript-Library (from none other than Geert) to be quite helpful.

PS - If you have the requirements clear, you can seek a consultants assistance to get all the shapescripts defined for you in one go.
