Changing default objects styles based on the model type

Timothy Gallivan

Good morning ~

 

Is there a way create a default style on an object based on the model that is created?

 

For a simple example, in all of our communication models, our analysts manually modify the style of a business domain to an ellipse.  In a process model the analysts need to the business domain needs to be a rectangle (which is the current default style).

 

I am working on creating a unique modeling language for our agency.  Having this in place will reduce time for our analysts. 

 

Any suggestions?

OK, I found out that I can create a custom object and was able to assign it to the Subject Objects as well as the Member objects for a particular model.

 

Now what I need is to be able to assign associations to it.....It looks like I can create custom properties for this object, but I cannot link to other models....Is this true or am I missing something?  I

 

For example, I created a custom object that will display the object as an ellipse on my communication modeler, however, it appears that you lose the functionality to link to other types of models. (Example: Communication model to Process Model.)

Tim,

 

Can you please tell me on how did you go about in creating a unique modelling language for your company? I am hunting out an effective way to do so for my unit as well.

 

I tried creating objects in a model with the needed shapes, sizes, colors and saving it as a template but was not able to pull back that template for actual modelling purposes.

Hello to all of you.
There is no such concept as a style for a given modeler. The style is defined in the modeling language and will apply (by default) to all models where the object is present. Then, working by exceptions, you may apply a different style (to the rule) in some specific models.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Thierry.
