Merging generalization lines when using multiple subclasses [message #871373]

It could be a stupid question, but is there the possibility to merge the
lines going from the child to the parent in a generalization
relationship when there are more children? Something like this:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtnlhelp/v6r0m0/topic/com.ibm.xtools.modeler.doc/images/general2.gif

So far I have only been able to draw two separate lines with two
separate arrows. Can't imagine that's the only way.

Thanks

Hi Andrea,
to do a TreeRouting, you should select your Generalization link, then Right Click -> Format -> Line Style -> Tree Style Routing.

Thanks, that worked. It took me a few minutes to find out how it works,
as it is not really intuitive for me, but I finally got it.

I am sorry that I have to revive such an old post, but I am new to Papyrus and I am having trouble with tree style.

I am using Papyrus 1.1.3 on WIn 10. I read the doc, tutorials, and searched the forum, but all I could find was this post and the page in the tutorial which states basically the same.

When I try to use it, the button is always greyed out (screenshot is attached)

This is what I did:

Select multiple edges between packages and blocks (I tried both diagram types) then clicked on the line style action menu. The rectlinear and oblique options are avalable, however tree style ist greyed out. The same with the right click menu.

Hi Martin,

It works for me, for both menus. Can you try with the equivalent option in the Appearance properties view? (Routing > Styles)

If it works there, then maybe the menus are overridden by another conflicting component that you might have installed. I think we use the generic GMF Commands in these menus (Sensitive to conflicts with other GMF plug-ins), whereas the properties view uses a custom implementation (That shouldn't conflict)

HTH,
Camille

Dear Camille,

thank you for your reply.
In the appearance properties view it kind of works. But it actually sets the style to what is equivalent to the rectilinear style. It doesn't do tree style. That is for block diagrams. Same thing for Packages. There it atually works with the menu button, but tree style does the same thing as rectinlinear style. It doesn't combine the lines, but it creates rectinlinear bending points (see screanshot).

For my installation it can't be conflictiong components, because I use the clean distribution provided on the Papyrus project page. I didn't install any other add-ons.

By the way. I can't use the 64-Bit Version on my Win 10 computer because it doesn't open, instead it shows an error Message, so I use the 32-Bit version.

Best regards,
Martin

Hi,

the Tree routing style is only sporadically working. There definitely seems to be a serious bug, which basically breaks the software and makes it useless! Would someone please care to help me.
