transcript

MS Visio Workaround

Click File Options

Under Visio Option select “Advanced”

Select the checkbox “Run in developer mode” and press “OK”

New Tab “Developer” will appear on right to “View” tab.

Right click the use case and Select “Show ShapeSheet”

Scroll down to the “Protection” section

Select “LockTextEdit”

Click “Edit Formula”

Make “1” to “0”

Close the “ShapeSheet”

Now press “F2” and edit the name. Add line breaks with “Enter”

Important Notes:

• It is tedious to unprotect each use case individually. If you are starting a new diagram, you may want to unprotect one use case and “copy” and press “F2” to edit it instead of adding new use cases from the palette.

• The downside of adding line breaks to the name of use case is that when you modify its properties, the name truncates to the first line break. Luckily, use cases do not have much useful properties other than name and documentation
