Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Alias and notes not safed in toolbox profile (EA 14)

« on: October 24, 2018, 11:22:14 pm »

You have to take care which object you save as UML-profile:
If you select the <<profile>>ToolboxPackage, the according alias is exported, if you export the according diagram,
only it's name is exported (since it has no alias-attribute).
I have not yet observed any deviations when package's alias is equal to diagram's name.

The 'Notes' displayed via Design->Diagram->Edit->Properties are equal to those displayed under
ProjectBrowser->Diagram->ContextMenu(rightClick)->Properties->Special Action... .
These Notes are not exported, but those, you enter in the ExportDialog.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Shape Script - multiple labels and label 'text' alignment

« on: October 24, 2018, 03:14:20 am »

According to https://www.sparxsystems.com.au/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/modeling_tools/writing_scripts.html
at least for connectors there should be the possibility to place the labels by defining "label <positionLabel>{...}" with <positionLabel> = "MiddleTopLabel" or "MiddleBottomLabel".

When used, the labels are initially drawn at the expected positions, but as soon as as the newly created connector is deselected, the MTL and MBL overlap at the MBL position. Is there a way to understand that behavior or a known workaround?
