Default icon for stereotypes...
« on: June 18, 2008, 02:41:55 am »
I'm learning EA and am wondering about the following.

I'm creating a profile. I want to create e.g. a server stereotype - and to associate a .emf with that stereotype.
Of course, when I import the stereotype into a model - I want to see my server icon.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Consider creating an MDG Technology. which is an XML file that can wrap your UML Profile and .emf file into a single deliverable. You create them by going "Tools > Generate MDG Technology File" and you load them with "Settings > MDG Technologies". See help for the details.

Sorry that doesn't work...

What you'll need to do is to export your image as reference data and import it into your target model. You can get an add-in to do this - but that is probably overkill unless you are already writing an add-in to load a technology, perform validation etc.
