changing text font size and adding toolbox Legend in EA Diagrams?

[khalid.ibrahim]

Hello,
I'd like to increase the font size of the text I put in an EA diagram and also add a legend that displays the artifacts I'm using (like composition links with the diamond head) in the print out of my diagrams. Is there a way I can do this?
thanks for your help.

For the default diagram font, use Start → Appearance → Preferences → Preferences → Diagram → Appearance → Default Fonts. Note that a diagram-level font can override your user default.


You can add EA’s standard legend from Toolbox → Common → Diagram Legend. However, that legend is primarily intended for appearance conventions such as colors and line widths. It does not provide entries for UML connector-end symbols such as the filled Composition diamond.

For a printed notation key, the practical workaround is to create a small legend graphic showing the required symbols and insert it into the diagram, or construct a small manual key using sample connectors and Text/Note elements.
