Title: MessageEndpoint and DiagramGate hidden name on creation - how to show name
Post by: satrman on June 12, 2024, 01:33:03 am
Hi, just found new feature in Changelog, that says that MessageEndpoint and DiagramGates have hidden name on creation.
I've tested it and yes, it hides its names. However, some of our analyst use message endpoint for ErrorMessage specification and want to see the message endpoint names on their diagram - the question is easy:
How to turn it back on?

(In diagrams created prior EA16 message endpoit names are visible - if I place such message endpoint on any sequence diagram created in EA16, name is hidden, so I suppose it is some diagram setting but cannot find which one)
Thanx in advance

Hello satrman,

You can show the label again by right-clicking the element | Appearance | Show Labels

HTH,

Thanks Takeshi,

Once you unhide it, can you hide it again (just asking as I don't see that option under r-click Appearance).
I also found that if I open and edit the diagram in EA15, labels are unhiden automatically for both EA15 and EA16 (makes sense though).

Thx

Hello satrman,

Yes, you can hide it again, but we need to right click on the label (text of the name), not the MessageEndPoint to hide the label.

I think it makes sense, basically we right-click the label because we want to manipulate the label, but this is impossible when the label is hidden, so we need to manipulate the object.

Thanx, yes it is logical, but you saved me some time to figure it out;-)
