OppositeLegID not working in script

[pvandeginste]

Hi,

I'm working on a MetaCommand that would allow users to trigger a script that automatically hides any associations on the diagram that are not related to the described object (ex.: in an application's diagram, the link between another application and a software technology also connected to the described application). 

In my VB script macro, when I use "OppositeLegName" and indicate the name of the MetaAssociationEnd (ex.: link.OppositeLegName = "Used-Service"), the script works, and it hides the associations in the diagram. If I use "OppositeLegId" and the Absolute Identifier of the MetaAssociationEnd (ex.: link.OppositeLegId = "HsUir9B5iee0"), the script doesn't work, and the associations aren't hidden.

Can someone tell me why it wouldn't work with "OppositeLegId" and the Absolute Identifier of the MetaAssociationEnd?

Thanks!

Hello,

In case you still  have this question, there are different kinds of "Identifiers" in MEGA (_IdAbs, _HexaIdAbs, the one you get with the "getId" command...).

To make your script work, try the following :

Root.getObjectFromId(link.OppositeLegId).getProp("_idabs") = "HsUir9B5iee0"
