How to find all undefined types?

[Christopher_Wells]

On the "<classname> Attributes" dialog I can define (i.e. create) the attributes (i.e. the data members) of a class.

For example, I can define a new attribute whose Name is "m_bar" and whose Type is named "Foo".

The combo box in which I enter the Type name allows me to type in the name directly (it doesn't force me to use the combo box to select an existing, previously-defined Type from a list): and therefore I can enter a Type name such as "Foo" that hasn't been declared elsewhere in the model.

The same is also true for method parameters as it is for attributes: I can specify as a parameter a Type that hasn't been declared anywhere else.

Is there a way to find in the model these Types which are being used without having been delared? And/Or to find the classes that are using types that haven't been declared?

You likely have to use the automation interface. Probably this would also be possible by writing an appropriate SQL (I don't have EA here at my Mac, so I can't tell the table names ).

A related issue is being able to find undefined methods, for example if I ...

* Define a method in a class
* Use the method in a sequence diagram
* Change the definition of the method in the class

... then the method used in the sequence diagram is now out-of-date or non-existent; but there's no way to tell that from looking at the sequence diagram.

I can't even use the 'Usage...'  dialog or the 'Find...' dialog to find where (e.g. in which sequence diagrams) the methods of a class are used: because the 'Usage...'  dialog isn't available for methods, and 'Find...' dialog doesn't find methods.
