Title: [Solved]Direction of connector is not changed by Jscript & VB script
Post by: demian824 on March 06, 2024, 05:15:41 am

Hello,

I tried to change direction of bunch of connectors to "Source -> Destination" by Jscript & VB script.
However, only direction property is not changed through the script.
I tried to both re-create connectors with the direction and update their direction, directly, but all their directions will be changed to "Destination -> Source" after updating.
Could you please check my scripts if I made the mistake?
If my scripts are okay, please fix the issue.

JScript :
-Change direction
         var thePackage as EA.Package;
         thePackage = Repository.GetTreeSelectedObject();
         var elements as EA.Collection;
         elements = thePackage.Elements;
         var theEle as EA.Element;
         var direction = "Source -> Destination";

         for(var i = 0; i < elements.Count; i++){
            theEle = elements.GetAt(i);
            
            var connectors as EA.Collection;
            connectors = theEle.Connectors;
               
            
            for(var j = 0; j < connectors.Count; j++){
               var conn as EA.Connector;
               conn = connectors.GetAt(j);               
               conn.Direction = direction;
               conn.Update();
               connectors.Refresh();
            }
            theEle.Update();
            theEle.Refresh();
            Session.Output((i + 1)  +" / " + elements.Count + " is Done.");
         }

-Create new connector
function addConn(sourceId, targetId, connType){
   var connectors as EA.Collection;
   var target as EA.Element;
   target = Repository.GetElementByID(targetId);
   var source as EA.Element;
   source = Repository.GetElementByID(sourceId);
   connectors = target.Connectors;
   
   var newConn as EA.Connector;
   newConn = connectors.AddNew("", connType);
   newConn.SupplierID = target.ElementID;
   newConn.ClientID = source.ElementID;
   newConn.Direction = "Source -> Destination";
   newConn.Update();
   connectors.Refresh();
}

vb Script:
         for each theConn in connCollection
            
            theConn.Direction = "Source -> Destination"
            If theConn.Update() then
               count = count + 1
               connCollection.Refresh()
            end if
            Session.Output count
            Session.Output theConn.Direction
         next
         Session.output("Done")

Thanks,

WonChul Choi

In order to swap you have to swap source and taget objectId of the connector. All your Refresh calls are pointless.

Negative. I tried that the direction is still Destination to Source.
Hence, I do not want to change source and target for my requirements

I changed the property 'Navigable' on connectorEnd Class.
now it is worked.
