Converting Connector Types -- EA 3.6 to 4.0
« on: March 31, 2004, 07:56:58 am »
I have a number of activity diagrams that were created using EA 3.6.  After upgrading to version 4.0 I noticed that the connector types are still the old State Flow types.

What is the easiest way to change these (en mass) to the new Control Flow types?

Thanks...

Brian

Well, I asked the question so I'll provide the answer...

 1. Export the package from EA to XML
 2. Edit the XML file with any editor
 3. Replace all instances of StateFlow with ControlFlow
 4. Save the file
 5. Import the XML file back into EA

Worked like a charm and only took about 30 seconds...

;D
