Default shape when adding element to a diagram

SBureau

Hi,

 

Where is the link made to determine the default shape to use when an element is added to a diagram? 

 

Example: When I add an application to the application environment diagram, the default shape selected for the application is "APPL.MSG". 

 

When I add an application to a city planning diagram, the default shape applied is "APPLCP.MGS"

 

Where is that link setup so that I could change it for some diagram?

 

Thanks!

you need metastudio to do so.

Hi,

 

You can change that on the MetaPicture associated to the DiagramTypeObject of your DiagramType.

 

Sometimes, you can find one DiagramTypeObject associated to many MetaPictures. In this case, the shape will be chosen in function of the condition already set on this MetaPicture.

This is typical specified in the meta model on each DiagrmType
