Profile stereotype connector labels

[i4mdone]

I like that with Quick Linker you can define _MeaningForwards and _MeaningBackwards to indicate to the modeler the role meaning between source and target for a connector.

The question: is there a way to set the connector source and target labels to reflect the meaning and not require the modeler to type in the labels each and every time?  (also to keep things very consistent for a specific connector type)

I don't think so, unless you make an add-in I suppose.

If you want labels to be explicitly set for all occurrences of a connector, shape script one or more labels to print that information.

That is a great idea.  I did the following and it works:

Code: [Select]

shape targettoplabel
{
print("uses");
}

shape sourcetoplabel
{
print("is used by");
}

Follow-on question:  this may be a brainless question, but is it possible to set the target.name and source.name instead through shape script? Or is this what Geert was referring to regarding an add-in?

Yes, if you actually want to assign those values to the connector you will need to use an add-in.
