Title: Add Quick Linker Definition: to which Profile Type?
Post by: ndg2 on August 03, 2018, 02:53:11 am

In addition to my own diagram types and toolbox profiles, I would like to restrict quick linker selection of elements to match those connectors I defined in my toolbox profile(s).

Now I see for example documentation like https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/extending_uml_models/add_quick_linker_definition_to.html (https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/extending_uml_models/add_quick_linker_definition_to.html). It's not entirely clear to me, which profile type is meant: is is (exclusively) a profile in the sense of adapting stereotypes to metaclasses or can it be also a "diagram profile" or "toolbox profile"?

I want to avoid having to create a metaclass/stereotype profile solely for the purpose of adapting the quick linker feature. Instead I want to add a definition to my diagram profile and include it then in my new toolbox/diagram MDG.

It needs to be in a stereotype profile.

Thanks for putting the record straight, Simon!
