Copying/saving a diagram to the clipboard

[Modesto Vega]

If I have a diagram call foo and save it to the clipboard, when it gets pasted into another document it has a box at the top reading "class foo". Is there a way to customise this through a stereotype and make it read "SADM foo"?

IIRC you can do that with a MDG. But it's quite a time since I worked with that.

You would need to create a Diagram Profile which defines your own custom diagram type, then include this in an MDG Technology.  See:

Thanks for this, MDG technology gets mentioned again I should give a try. Is the MDG creation wizard capable of generating an MDG file based on a project?

Not if you are including profiles.  You need to export each of your profiles (Stereotypes, Diagrams, Toolboxes) as XML files first, which can then be included in the MDG Technology.

How can I establish beyond doubt all the profiles used in a project, including those inherited?

Alternatively
Tools > Options > Diagram
See "Diagram frames"
you can turn them off when copied to the clipboard, so the problem goes away.

It certainly does the trick; thank you very much, much appreciated.
