iterate through connectors

[DavidM]

Hi,
I would like to update a MDG tag with a value that reflects the number of connectors for an Archimate application, so we can establish which applications are heavily integrated and which ones are not. So I am looking to using a ShapeScript to do it.

Does anyone know if this is possible, and iif so, what is the code like?

Hi David,
A shapescript is not used for this purpose.  It is used to render the item on a diagram.  It can react to MDG tags, but it can't affect them.

You'll need to use a script from the scripting portal (e.g. VBScript, JScript, Javascript etc.).  You'll find sample scripts in the portal.  After you've had a look, come back with any questions.

HTH,

You "could" do that in a shape script by calling an add-in operation. However, due to performance consideration that is not recommended (and I stayed away from it ever since). Using a script like Paolo suggested is a more reasonable approach.
