Mind Map chg does not chg appearance correctly

[col]

Hi,
I have used the EA Mind Map functionality for documenting in ea creative process.  There are a couple of things that irritate when using it:
1: The Topic elements are based on class model objects.  Thus, when entering titles that include sapces or other non-source code characters you are met with a warning when clicking ok from the poroperties dialog of the topic

2: I suppose a common action when using Mind Maps is to change the stereotype from one topic type to another (e.g. from Topic to Sub-topic).  Doing that does not alter the appearance of the element correspondingly (e.g. changing from "Topic" to "MainTopic" makes an element appear visually as a Sub-Topic)

(Observed this in the most recent build as well --> 7.1 832)

I suspect without proof that both of these are related to how EA handles stereotypes defined in profiles.

Of course that does not solve your problems, but perhaps it will lead to some kind of workaround.

At the very least it might help to isolate the problems sufficiently that Sparx can come up with solutions.

Your first point, it a bit of bad luck, but you can disable the warning (Tools | Options | Object | No warning for spaces in class names).

You can change the appearance by dragging the new type from the toolbox and selecting 'Convert to <Type>'.
