Enterprise Architect in general

[madHacker]

Hi. I'm new to Enterprise Architect, and am currently using an evaulation copy. I'm not new to the UML world, I've been using UML since version 0.8 (The draft proposal). I have been using the other, higher priced competitors to Enterprise Architect, but have changed companies and the budget is a little tighter here, so rather than get 1 seat of the other systems, we are looking at 10 seats of Enterprise Architect. My first impression is that it has a lot of functionality in it for the price. My second impression is that it needs a little more QA time (Save often, my friend). There are also some other things that I'm not sure how to do and have been too lazy to hunt through the documentation to find. Here's my list of things that I'd like to know about if they exist: - reverse engineering of sequence diagrams, the ability to nest activation bars on a sequence lifeline, automatic dependence updating. Any help would be appreciated on the goods and the caveats...

There's no support for reverse engineering of sequence diagrams (not yet anyway).

I'm not sure about your other questions, so someone else will have to answer them.

I would like to say though that in general we offer good support.  (I'm biased, but you'll find that most users who do report bugs will agree.)

I believe the answer to the other 2 is yes.  Just make sure you reference elements directly when inputing messages and such and your updates to the class will be reflected in your dynamic views.
