Title: Set Element Colour on UML Profile
Post by: ADucci on March 25, 2014, 09:25:17 pm

I have created a UML Profile, and on that profile, have extended a normal class meta-type with a new stereotype.

I have set the background colour of my new stereotype element and exported the profile as per:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/9.0/standard_uml_models/importingprofiles.html instructions

This does not seem to work as expected, the new elements color is unchanged and when looking at the profile.xml file, I see that the bgcolor property is "-1"  indicating that the colour attribute did not pull through.

Is this an EA Bug, or have I just done something wrong.

Thanks
Anthony

Shape information is only exported if you export the diagram rather than the package as profile. Maybe that is your issue?

Problem Solved (as per EA support guys)

I was using the color palette on the toolbar to define the color,

I should have selected the element -> Appearance --> Default Appearance  to change the color.

Thanks.
