Component Diagram display stereotype images

[rupertkiwi]

Hi there,

I have a Component diagram with several objects on it i.e. components and classes.

I have specified decoration icons to be displayed for the stereotypes in the UML Types window but they are not being displayed in the Component diagram.

They are however being displayed in a Class diagram.

Does anyone know how they can be displayed in a Component diagram?

Thanks,
Rupert

Have you tried converting the Component Diagram to a Class Diagram, changing the setting to the appropriate value then changing the diagram type back?

If that works, then "it's a bug, ".

Thanks Paolo,

How do I convert it from a Component diagram to a Class diagram?

Open the diagram and then select
Design | Diagram | Manage | Change Type

Yep, doesn't seem to make any difference.

I am using one of the new AWS (Component) diagrams but it doesn't seem to allow any shape scripts as icons in the diagram.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can display icons in one of these diagrams?

I want to use the AWS architecture diagram type because it lets me select objects as part of an AWS Group.

Thanks,
Rupert

If it's an AWS diagram, you will need to go to the Properties window and unset the Diagram|Appearance|Custom Style option. You can set Custom Style back again on individual elements, but the diagram option sets it for everything on the diagram.

I would compare the properties of both diagrams to see if there's any difference there.
Look first for options like
- show shapescripts
- show stereotype icons
- ...

OK, thanks for that.

I can change the Custom Style for an entire diagram but how do I change it for an individual element on a diagram?

I can change the Custom Style for an entire diagram but how do I change it for an individual element on a diagram?

Right-click > Appearance > Enable Custom Draw Style

Also works on multiple selections.

Thanks KP.

I notice that you have to remove the Custom Style setting for the entire diagram before you can change the individual element custom style setting

Thanks KP.

How do you do that?

If the 'Custom Style' setting is selected for the entire diagram then the 'Enable Custom Draw Style' option for the element is greyed out.

You have to deselect the 'Custom Style' setting for the entire diagram first.

Sorry, I meant where do I set  'Custom Style' for the entire diagram?  Not obvious to me.

That's why I asked,

I presume Neil meant <diagram context menu> | Appearance  (because there's no such menu item, "Appearance", for the diagram I was using).
