Diagram properties lost after importing package
« on: July 07, 2003, 07:51:39 pm »
After importing a package from an XML file, I find that the diagram properties have been lost. To reproduce:

* create a new EA project

* under the Logical View, create a new package

* under the new package, create a new class diagram and a new
 class

* add an attribute and a method to the class and add the new
 class to the class diagram, the attribute and method
 will be visible

* bring up the diagram properties and set the "Hide Attributes"
 and "Hide Operations" checkboxes. The attribute and operation
 will no longer be visible from the diagram

* select the new package  and export to XML

* remove the new package, select the logical view folder, and
 import the package from the XML file

* the diagram is restored, but the changed properties are lost
 - the attribute and operation are visible

I assume that this is a bug, but perhaps there is some workaround? I have some diagrams with 20 or more classes. I suppress attributes and operations to reduce the clutter in the diagram, but everytime I import the package I have to adjust the diagrams.
