EA 9.3 corperate ed. does not show SysML toolbox
« on: August 03, 2012, 06:09:20 pm »
I have installed EA9.3 on a Windows 7 64bit system and I have noticed that I have no access to the default SysML MDG toolbox. Also If I install the MDG for SysML plugin (trail) It seems not to be working.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance.

By the way. I just upgraded from a desktop edition to a corporate edition.

Bart,

Maybe it's just that you don't see the menu options.
Check View|Workspaces and Commands... tab Commands

If you have the Systems Engineering or Ultimate edition, the SysML toolbox will be available without needing to install the SysML add-in.

With EA Corporate however, you need to have the MDG Technology for SysML add-in installed in order to access the SysML toolboxes.

When I installed the MDG toolbox for SysML cannot see any trace of it in my EA program. It is also not available in the "MDG technologies" tab. It seems like I am missing some installation connection between EA and the MDG toolbox.

I also tried to add the path of the MDG toolbox but did had no result.

After I installed the MDG toolbox (trail version) it also does not show up on the extensions menu. Am I forgetting something during installation?

If I make a copy of the example model. The toolbox is visible but I still can not select it at the extensions tab.

I currently worked with EA desktop edition, can this cause the problem?

I'm pretty sure the SysML add-in requires EA Professional or higher.  See:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/mdg/tech/sysml/sysreq.html

Otherwise if the SysML add-in has been installed but does not show up under Extensions | Manage Add-Ins - it is likely missing the necessary registry key under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins] to identify the add-in.  This can happen when the add-in was installed by a different user account (E.g. Administrator).

I'm getting a bit lost with add-ins, technologies and extensions, but see if this makes a difference:

Select Settings | MDG Technologies and scroll down the MDG Technologies dialog to the three SysML entries (are they there?). Then select the checkbox opposite each one, and click on the OK button.
Best Regards, Roy

SysML support is no longer provided by an add-in; it is built into the Systems Engineering and Ultimate editions of EA. It also works if you have a lesser edition but have the old SysML add-in: that is the only reason to install the old SysML add-in - to make use of its permissions to access the built-in SysML.

Thanks,

After I copied the registration key from the admin to  my account it works perfect! We're happy campers over here  :).

I think it got mixed in the registry when we first used a desktop edition for a different project.

B.t.w If you no longer support the MDG toolbox for SysML, why is Sparx still selling them?
