Suggestions and Requests / Re: Default connector style

« on: December 09, 2011, 09:07:50 am »

Hi,

All I asked for was ability to set the default line style.  I didn't specify it to be per diagram, but that would be good.

cheers,
Tom

Hi Skiwi,

thanks for the pointer.

this dialog doesn't allow me to choose between "Direct", "Auto-Routing", "Tree-Style Vertical", etc as the default Line Style for new connectors.

I preferred pre version 8 sparx which where the default was Direct, and want to return to those happier times, but understand that other users have other preferences.

I have a raised a New Feature request.

cheers,
Tom

Hi,

I don't like the default line style for new connectors on diagrams, and want to change back to "Direct" lines.  Please allow the user to select which style of connector should be default for new connectors.

thanks,
Tom

Bugs and Issues / HTML report slow on 9.2?

« on: February 08, 2012, 09:51:26 am »

Is anyone else finding that the HTML report dialog is painfully slow on 9.2?  I running it on big model on an Oracle database.  prior to upgrading to 9.2, HTML report ran fine.  Now its slow, and nothing else, as far as i can see, has changed.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Add background images to multiple diagrams

« on: January 13, 2012, 09:56:18 am »

Hi,

I have inherited a large project, with 100+ business processes which have been drawn in visio.  client wants these displayed within the HTML document I have generated from the sparx model.

as an interim measure (before I or someone else goes about re-modelling these processes as actual BPMN in sparx), i would like to import on mass the image files of each process and add it as an image on a blank process diagram.

I have created all the process elements, and added a blank BPMN diagram under each element with same name.  I was hoping the script could then add a boundary element to each diagram and set the alternative image to be jpg (of the same name as the business process, from a specified folder).  However, i can't see a way of doing this in the help files, forum or with my trial and errors.   i can't seem to -
a) add image files to the image manager and t_image
b) set the ObjectStyle for DiagramObject to be eg "DUID=9230D329;ImageID=861032603" for the image that has a name which has the same as the diagram

Has anyone does this sort of thing before with any success?

currently I'm only used vbscript, but happy to learn and use which technology works

cheers,
Tom

Thanks Geert - your post is prob the most useful thing I have read on this forum.  I've been using that search box for about a year, and not noticed that other search button.
