MDG - presetting Diagram properties

[Paolo F Cantoni]

We used to create Diagram types in a Template Package, however, we are moving to defining the diagram types in the MDG itself.

Do I understand correctly, that I can take the PDATA and StyleEx fields for an existing diagram and add them to the diagram specification in the MDG (as below)?

Code: [Select]

<Stereotype name="Metamodel" alias="Metamodel Diagram" notes="The MDG metamodel itself">
<AppliesTo>
<Apply type="Diagram_Logical">
<Property name="alias" value="Metamodel"/>
<Property name="diagramID" value="metamodel"/>
<Property name="toolbox" value="MDG Role Specific"/>
<Property name="pdata" value="<PDATA from t_diagram>"/>
<Property name="styleex" value="<StyleEx from t_diagram>"/>
</Apply>
</AppliesTo>
</Stereotype>

TIA,
Paolo

Hmm. The StyleEx contains the MDGDgm= string. So I'd doubt that this would work. Not sure about PData. I'll make a test later.

That seems to work (on V13.5).  Probably the MDGDgm part will be replaced. I'd just not supply it in any case. I also just supplied one property from the CSV lists and they did appear as specified. Quite a nice thing to know :-)
