Default line style

[Sygnus]

Greetings.

Is it possible to spcify a default line style for a custom connector stereotype?

Are there any properties that I can set on the profile diagram elements to achieve this?

I'd catch the EA_OnPostNewConnector in an add-in to change the style.

Search the help for _lineStyle

Interesting.. I just tried that in a UML profile where I added the attribute _lineStyle with the initial value of orthogonalS in my stereotype element (extending the metaclass class) with no luck.

_lineStyle is treated as a "tagged value" when I import the UML profile and create a stereotyped element.

I'm using the latest v10 build 1007.

Anything I've missed ?

Thanks

I guess you need it in an extension of a connector meta class.

Ok it worked, but this isn't what I'mlooking for.
Creating a stereotype e.g. on the Association metaclass makes it compulsory to use a stereotype on the connector that's shown on the diagram whereas all I need is to apply a selected line style by default for all my new connectors. Furthermore I cannot change the line style with this stereotype.

Could Sparx add an option in EA Options -> Links that's similar to the existing "Generalization link style Default = tree" (Y/N) such as "Association link style Default = ..." drop down list populated with all styles & custom by default ?

Thanks

To make it easier, could we have as an enhancement of EA all line styles listed in EA Tools / Options / Links -> under Default Style : replace "Routing" with Line Style

Thanks
