Title: Defaulting diagram stereotype in MDG
Post by: Dave_Bullet on December 10, 2008, 08:45:59 am

Sparx gurus,

Can I default the diagram.stereotype in my MDG?

Reason being, I want to be able to test for the type of custom diagram in my shapescript.  I have the following available:

diagram.name = the name the user gives the diagram (no good as user can call it anything)

diagram.type = the base underlying EA type.  No good if I have several diagrams based on the same type (cannot distinguish between them or even vanilla EA diagrams)

diagram.stereotype = always blank.  My idea is to default it for each new diagram then I can test in shapescript

Is defaulting the diagram stereotype possible?  If so - do I put something on the UML PRofile diagram that defines my diagrams, or on the stereotype or base metaclass for the custom diagram type?

Thanks,
David.

That's a definite oversight - pop in a bug report (http://www.sparxsystems.com/support/bug_report.html) and hopefully we can add it for EA 7.5
