Description aleoo 2006-12-23 17:22:14 UTC 
1. Create a class diagram
2. Add a class, and a few attributes and operations for it.
3. Set stereotype as 'entity'.
4. Right-click on the class.
5. Pick 'Show as iconic'
6. The class get a round shape.

There is no way to make it back rectangular.
After this action the corresponding ETLP file has all custom attribute and 
operation information removed.

In order to revert this action you need to restore your diagram from a backup.

another way to reproduce is
- put class from 'Robustness' part of palette to class diagram.
  (Boundary, Control, Entity class).
- It has no 'Show As Non-Iconic Class' menu item.
e.g. Interface shown as Icon has such menu item.
Comment 2 Andrew Korostelev 2006-12-25 11:08:43 UTC 
The only way to make it rectangular is: 
- drop entity class node from model tree to diagram.
   It will be shown as rectangular.
- move all links from iconic to rectangular symbol (manually).
- remove iconic symbol from diagram.
Comment 3 Yang Su 2007-01-12 18:29:14 UTC 
The functionality to display classes with entity/boundary/controller stereotypes
in non-iconic view was not there.

Now the menu item "Show as Non-Iconic" is added to those three types of elements
when they are currently displayed in iconic state.

BTW, ETLP file contains only the information for the presentation, the actual
model data is saved in another file, the data was never lost even though it was
not present in ETLP file.
