Inconsistent _metatype application
« on: May 13, 2010, 05:30:05 pm »
If you open the properties for an Association arc the dialog caption reads:
Association: <arc name>

If you open the properties for an Class vertex the dialog caption reads:
Class: <vertex name>

Now, if you make the Class the Association Class for the Association then BOTH the Association and the Class properties when opened read:
Association Class: <arc name>
and:
Association Class: <vertex name>
respectively.

If you create an MDG and using stereotypes assign a metatype to the arc and the vertex you get:
<arc metatype>: <arc name>
and:
<vertex metatype>: <vertex name>

However, when you make the Class the Association Class for the Association then you get:Association Class: <arc name>
BUT:
<vertex metatype>: <vertex name>

Please rectify the inconsistency...
