Inserting OLE objects into EA diagrams

[Sergiy Nikolayev]

We are converting existing software design documentation to EA (one EA model per software module), and want to duplicate our design document structure in EA model.
We used to work with MS Visio heavily before, and actually continuing using it for non-UML drawings and schemas. We really need a way of inserting Visio diagrams into EA models, preserving the capability of editing those diagrams on the spot as you would do in MS Office Word.
Is there any way of inserting a Visio diagram into EA diagram as an OLE object? Is there a way of inserting it into EA model at all?

Inserting OLE objects is not possible. You can insert pictures by adding a frame element to a diagram and choosing an alternate image (in the context menu). Work for other elements also, but the frame does not apear elsewhere thus nor clobbering the Project View.

Yeah, I found that workaround for pictures by myself, but thank you anyway.
Inserting Visio objects as pictures is not an option either, because it is not editable any longer, so we will need to maintain both - EA and Visio models.
The model is stored in ClearCase, and we cannot afford keeping Visio models in addition to EA models as they will crowd Clear Case and diminish the whole benefit of having just one model file per software module. We are trying to get rid of multiple design artifacts (like Word document + EA model) and just move to one design artifact (just EA model), with the ability to generate RTF design document for managers review.

So, having that feature would really enable our company using EA as the only design tool.

Maybe it is possible to embed the whole .vsd file as a binary object into EA project, and at least have a hyperlink to it on the diagram?
