Title: Metadata Stereotyped Relationship
Post by: philchudley on November 07, 2018, 03:10:19 am

Hi All

I am developing  fairly complex MDG in EA 14.1 and am attempting to use the "new" quicklinker Stereotyped Relationship between two stereotyped elements defined in my profile.


It works, sort of.


When I create a diagram using my MDG, and use the Quicklink, I see the relationship defined in the Stereotyped relationship, BUT I also see the following


Substitution

Abstraction

Dependency

Information Flow

Realization

Usage

Trace


How can these be removed? Presumably somewhere within the MDG, these "extras" are not shown in ArchiMate 3.0 for example.


I don't really won't to revert to the legacy spreadsheet method!

Any help much appreciated


Phil

Add the attribute _HideUmlLinks with initial value "True" to the <<metaclass>> element for the source stereotype.

Any chance we can get this documented and implemented int he stereotype helper?

Just lost a couple of hours figuring out how to hide the standard UML links.

Thanks

This will be in the next release of the Help. The _HideUmlLinks attribute is already there, I believe, in the Special Attributes topic, but I have added a reference in the Hide Default Quick Linker Settings topic as well.

It actually is documented in the help file, you are right.
Strange enough, searching for the exact string results in:

The search "_HideUmlLinks" did not match any documents

So the question is...  Why?
