Objects author=Diagrams author (automatic)
« on: May 23, 2015, 04:56:59 am »
Is there an option (or way) to make

objects in a diagram inherit its

diagram's author automatically.

Thanks,

Only by writing an add-in that subscribe to EA_OnPostNewDiagramObject.

Seems like a very bad idea.

If you're creating new elements, set the appropriate name in the EA options. If you started setting the author in response to EA_OnPostNewDiagramObject every time someone adds an object to a diagram it will change the author.

+1 to Simon's point...

Objects DO NOT belong to diagrams - they belong to the repository.

Diagrams are (as they are supposed to be) merely a viewpooiint into the model within the repository.

I rather stopped wondering why people want to do things. So if someone asks me how to open the window to jump from the 10th floor I tell him how to open the window.

Dear qwerty, Simon M and Paolo F Cantoni.

Thanks for the orientation,

I'll consider this by doing (or not) this add-in.

You obviously don't live in the US where, as they were falling, they'd be instructing their lawyer on their mobile phone to sue you for NOT stopping them jumping!  ;)

Ok guys.  Be cool !

I've decided not to implement this automatic 'author' actualization.

Thanks for the tips.   ::)
