running EA with parameters

[bartko]

hi,
I wish I could run EA.exe with parameters, for example:
ea.exe /connect_params=x /d='diagram_name' ,
so it would start with opened diagram or object propeties. Does current release provide such a function ?

No, I don't believe it does.

Although I am aware of someone who used the automation interface to achieve the same results.

The repository may be specified at the command line, but not the diagram.

I think you could also use the Diagram menu "Set as user default " and/or "set as model default" options to get a specific diagram opened on start up.

... but not programmatically. Only once and forever (until changed manually).

Simon, I guess you refer to another guy here from Germany we had such a discussion. I can't recall who it was, but he did it someway very special.

I had the idea that EA could/should have some kind of startup automation which one could configure. (And when you are on it: all kinds of events should be connectable to some kind of automation - as Rose can do ) Thus you would be able to do the above and much more. Maybe you can do this during initialization of the add-in already?

Is this still the case? That you can't start EA with parameters?

Does anybody know?

If you want some special behavior from EA when starting up you will need to use the automation interface.
