Title: Note in Diagram which display element description
Post by: metalmasterx on January 26, 2006, 07:26:06 am

It would be very helpful sometimes if (in a diagram) I could add a note to an element which automatically displays its description instead of entered text.

This would enable me to use the same content for both the diagram and the generated documentation (and I don't have to remember updating both of it in case of a change).

Hi,

try attaching a note to the element, then right-clicking on the link between the note and the element. There is an option "Link this note to an Element feature...".

Hope this helps!
Bruno

try this for the class, which has Text() method and text attribute - add notes for each and try to see difference ;-)
