Title: MDG/Quicklink definition?
Post by: Mesple on October 22, 2019, 11:15:02 pm

Hi all,
I'd like to add Quicklink definition to my MDG.
I have an issue with an "Association" link definition.
What's wrong in my settings:
"//Source Element Type,Source ST filter,Target Element Type,Target ST Filter,Diagram Filter,New Element Type,New Element ST,New Link Type,New Link ST,New Link Direction,New Link Caption,New Link & Element Caption,Create Link,Create Element,Disallow Self connector,Exclusive to ST Filter + No inherit from metatype,Menu Group,Complexity Level,Target Must Be Parent,Embed element,Precedes Separator LEAF,Precedes Separator GROUP,DUMMY COLUMN
Class,Etape,,,,Class,Etape,Association,,directed,,Association,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,Etape,0,,,,,"

If I substitute "Association" by "Realization", it works!

Thanks a lot

Olivier

Olivier,

Since version 14 there is a much easier way to do quicklink definitions using your UML profile metamodel directly.
See https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/modeling/metamodelconstraints.html (https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/modeling/metamodelconstraints.html)

I suggest you look into that, instead of going crazy trying to get the quiclink csv to work.

And remember that the quicklinker has "Filter to Toolbox" set by default so if your target and connector types/stereotypes aren't in the toolbox, they won't appear in the quicklinker.
