Diagram profile with hidden relationships
« on: September 12, 2019, 12:42:27 am »
Hi,
I maintain an MDG with EA 14.1. In the diagram profiles, I have 2 diagram types, one with the default properties and the other one with the Connectors\Show Relationships disabled.
In the diagram profile, I set Show Relationships to False.
In the generated diagram profile XML I can see <Property name="pdata" value="HideRel=0;"/>
Once the MDG is generated and installed, this property is not applied on new diagrams with the matching type.

I even tried in vain to change the XML content with <Property name="pdata" value="HideRel=1;"/> (note: when I manually disable the property, the diagram pdata value contains HideRel=1; )

It seems to be a bug.
The aim is to let users create diagrams with no relationship displayed.

Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,

Please keep us (me ;)) informed on progress on this.  We are likely to want exactly the same functionality, yesterday.  This functionality is required for "landscape" diagrams where the user just wants to see a set of relevant objects.
