Enterprise Architect set a class element to deprecated

I just started to use EA and wondered how to indicate a class is deprecated? Trying to have classes tagged as depreciated and appearing in a different color on existing diagramms.

Or in general say i am currently working on a POC based on an existing system and want to categorize classes for example "out of POC context", "depreciated", "undefined" etc. is it "Tagged Values" i need to go for? (because currently i just give them different colors in all the diagrams...)

what i tryied

Currently i am watching the tutorial videos and working with the 2888 pages manual and was able to get a hard but good start into EA but couldnt figure this out since 2 hours.

Whilst Tagged values is a good option, have you considered "Status" you can have Status configured under Settings -> Project Types -> General Types) and you can also have status colors displayed in diagrams.

  • You should create a stereotype <obsolete> or <deprecated>,
  • define it in some document apart, or on the note on the diagram, or both,
  • and use it with classes you consider obsolete.

This algorithm does not depend on the tool.
