Getting inconsistent Fill color when adding Action to Activity diagram (EA14.0)

[yonatan.lehman]

Hi
I'm trying to add an Action defined by our MDG toolbox. But the shape and fill color depends on how I add it to the Diagram.

1) I get the correct shape and fill color when I use the Add to Diagram button from the Find Toolbox item dialog. A rectangle with rounded edges and fill as defined by the Layout>Style>Default Style

2) When I drag it from the Toolbox (after doing Activate Toolbox), (or from the Find Toolbox Item) it comes out with the wrong color and a shape that depends on the Kind that I set as default (using Ctrl Drag)'

The correct-looking Action has no Kind - and I couldn't get the dragged Action to look the same.

I also noticed that the Package of the correct-looking action is the same as the Diagram - but the Package of the dragged action is from a different package (called Activity Template funnily enough - is this a reserved name in EA?)

Keeping the Find Toolbox item open all the time and clicking Add to Diagram and then moving the Action to where I want it is very inconvenient - Does anyone know how I can get the dragged Action to look the same as the Add to Diagram?

Thanks

How you did you define your toolbox?

Looks like you are reusing an existing object instead of creating a new one.

Your reference to 'Activity Template' makes me wonder if you have a template package active. That package is overwriting the appearance of the elements created, which is what it is for. It sounds like EA 14 wasn't applying the template package correctly when creating elements from the 'Find Toolbox Item' dialog.

That's mostly on speculation, but ... maybe.
