set feature visibility for non-uml entities
« on: February 21, 2015, 01:52:28 am »
Hi,

Can I add feature visibility for non-UML entities?
I'd like to show features (e.g., tagged values) for Archimate entities (MDG plugin) but nothing displays when using the various checkboxes.
Entities are displayed with rectangle notation
EA = v11.1

Is there something else that needs to be done for entities from MDG plugins?

thanks
Jason

Elements from MDGs often use shape scripts. If so you have no choice except asking the MDG provider to modify the script.

Thanks.
Its an MDG provided by sparx. I see that they have extended the UML Activity stereotype for the entities I use (archimate businessfunction).
It should inherit the compartments from UML Activity, but its not being displayed - so I guess I'm stuck...
