Hi,
I've created a reasonable complex project in which I'm laying out components on the diagram using Java driven automation.
Works great but I have some visual components that need to modify. There are:
TEXT ORIENTATION
-----------------------
A number of my components are orientated such that they have a much larger height than width. I would therefore like to have the text run vertically. I have see this when using BPMN Pools so I know its possible but not sure how to switch on this behaviour.
SCRIPTING
-------------
I would like to add additional elements to my diagram objects. I have seen how the stereotype scripting can help. What I would like to do is load the BPMN stereotypes and see how the script looks which should give me clues on modifying it. Is this possible?
MDG
-----
Am I able to load an MDG and then modify it and save it under a different name. Again, BPMN as an example.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
Jez

Text orientation - you will have to create a shape script or edit an existing one. To edit the existing BPMN shapescripts - import the BPMN 2.0 Technology.xml file found in Program File (x86)\Spark Systems\EA\MDG Technologies. Open the Resources tab, right click on MDG Technologies and select Import Technology. Then go to Settings->UML Types... You should find the imported BPMN stereotypes and associated shapescripts.
Hope this helps,
Jon.
