eXtending EA: Shape Script Properties

Posted on 2020-06-22 von

[Dieser Artikel ist nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar]

The various properties of the different EA model objects (elements, connectors, diagrams) are accessible in shape scripts via so-called Shape Script Properties.

The element or connector property can be inserted in a output text or condition test using the substitution macro #{propertyname}# (where ‘{propertyname}’ is exchange by the concrete property name).

Example: println("name: #NAME#");

Please note that the concrete notation of a property’s name – lowercase only (e.g. #actualname#), uppercase only (e.g. #ACTUALNAME#) or mixed (e.g. #ActualName#) – is not relevant and will be ignored.

Properties for Element-related Shape Scripts

  • ActualName: The same as Name except that it does ignore the current ‘Use Alias if Available‘ setting.
  • Addin: – returns a value from an invoked Add-In function; syntax:
         addin:<addin_name>, <function_name>, <parameter> [, <parameter> ...]
    Note that in the hasproperty() argument, Enterprise Architect requires the hash characters for addin values:
         if(hasproperty("#ADDIN:MyAddin,MyValue#", "TheValue")) { ...
