Enterprise Architect - MDG Technology - Default Appearance as Icon

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am new for developing MDG Technology, wondering to get some help.

I have to create custom elements for my project and below is the requirement. While creating new elements in the diagram, the element should pick-up a default icon for appearance.

This is what I tried, (as guideline)

1. Created a Stereotype for my metaclass
2. In the Option : Edit with profile helper -- Assigned - icon (16 x 16) and _metatype: block

After generating MDG file and importing my MDG Technology, I tried to create a new element in my MDG diagram, but found that

1. In the toolbox - icon is assigned
2. When I drag and drop the element to create one, it has the default box. But here the expectation is the custom icon.

Any guidance, what exactly should I do to achieve this?

Regards Vijay
