How to create TOGAF add-in element with script?

[AlexY]

QUESTION: I want the elements created by script to have TOGAF add-in properties. How can I do this? Thanks.
(Background information is below).


I use TOGAF add-in and need to import many elements representing physical application components.

The TOGAF add-in has a special element "PhysicalApplicationComponent" in toolbox intended to represent physical application - see image below..



The element has a set of TOGAF properties defined as tags - see the image below..



When add elements with script:

Code: [Select]

var thePackage as EA.Package;
var elements as EA.Collection;
var element as EA.Element;

thePackage = Repository.GetTreeSelectedPackage();
elements = thePackage.Elements;      
element = elements.AddNew( "Created by script", "Component" );
element.Stereotype = "PhysicalApplicationComponent";

The element created does not have TOGAF properties..



So, how to create an element which will have the TOGAF properties as defined by the TOGAF add-in?

Change the line:

element = elements.AddNew( "Created by script", "Component" );

to:

element = elements.AddNew( "Created by script", "TOGAF::PhysicalApplicationComponent" );
