Title: Set Default Line Style?
Post by: adama on March 31, 2017, 08:58:40 am

I suspect that this can be done, but I haven't found it yet. I want to make all Information Flows be "Orthogonal Rounded" every time I create one.

You need to edit the relevant MDG.

Code: [Select]

<AppliesTo>
<Apply type="InformationFlow">
<Property name="_lineStyle" value="OrthogonalR"/>
</Apply>
</AppliesTo>

We've done that for our unique modelling environment.   We've made Association based relationships default to "Orthogonal Square", Flow or behavioural as "Orthogonal Rounded", and the rest as required.

HTH,

Or just use my "Default Line Styles script"
I have two versions of it. One that can be used with EA-Matic and is automatically executed every time you create a new relation, the other is just a regular script that can be executed on demand
- EA-Matic version (https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library/blob/master/Projects/EA-Matic%20Scripts/DefaultLineStyles.vbs)
- Regular version (https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library/blob/master/Projects/Project%20Bellekens/DiagramGroup/Set%20LineStyles.vbs)

I recommend EA-Matic. It's easy to set up and it does the job :)

Thanks Geert!
