Save package as UML Profile doesn't show up

[Lars J.]

Hi all,

in my EA 9.3 Ultimate I am creating a profile package to add it to an MDG technology. unfortunately the menu entry "Save package as UML profile" doesn't show up (which was the case in 8.0 before.

The screenshot illustrates it:

This is the behavior in build 931.

What could I be doing wrong?

check the 'view->Workspaces and Commands' feature

The menu is not correct - there are some options that should be there that aren't, and a couple of options that should not be there that are.

In the View | Workspaces and Commands dialog, click on the Commands tab and, in the Command Sets panel click on Complete.

In the right-hand panel, expand the Element Management item and the General item, and make sure that their checkboxes are selected, and then scroll down and make sure that the Save Package as UML Profile checkbox is ticked.

That should fix the problem. If it doesn't please submit a formal bug report.

If you right-click on an open diagram, does the context menu show the Save as Profile option? If it does not, again on the View | Workspaces and Commands dialog, Commands tab Complete command set, expand the Diagram Management item and make sure its checkbox is selected, and make sure the Save as Profile checkbox at the end of that expanded list is selected.

Many thanks for these two hints.

In the View | Workspaces and Commands dialog I checked all options testwise to get a quick answer.

That did the job. Btw. that's a very cool feature, which I will play around with in the near future.

Initial I thought the absence of the "Save package as UML profile" menu item was a bug and now that made me aware of this extra level of customizability.
