Title: run a script to set up a new stereotyped diagram
Post by: elr on January 12, 2025, 05:13:34 am

Hello all,

I am stucked with the inability to automatically unset 'Show Namespace' option at creation of custom sequence diagrams .

APi seems to provide a RW attribute (HighlightImports) to set it off but how to assign a script running this job whenever user create a new sd ?

Thank you

Eric

You probably don't need a script at all. You can use the template package to set these type of defaults for your diagrams.

Thx Geert but what is a template package in this context ?

I started setting dataex and pdata attributes with no success (showForeign=0" doesn't work)  then some posts led me to API and scripts...

What would be the recipe through these template package ?!

see here: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/17.0/modeling_fundamentals/using_element_templates.html (https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/17.0/modeling_fundamentals/using_element_templates.html)

The properties of the diagrams in that package will be copied to any new diagram of that type. No scripting required.

That's perfect for me and so simple.
I did not know this capability...

Thank you Geert  !
