Spellcheck not working

[bcrier]

Hello everyone,

We are using Activity diagrams for process mapping, and have noticed that spelling mistakes in the Name field are not caught.  Is this how EA works or am i doing something wrong?

Appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks.

Have you RAN the spell checker? The spelling is NOT checked on the fly (would be great) you must use the commands under - Tools: Spell Check Project... Spell Check Package...

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I did  run the spell check.  Apparently it does not check the element names.  Some people feel that the logic is that element names can have too many non-dictionary words.  It does not make a lot of sense to me, as it can be an option default being "do not spell check element names".

This limitation can cause oa lot of issues with many models, more specifically, Activity, BPMN and Database, because they all use dictionary words very often.

I would encourage Sparx to stop thinking about this tool as just a "technical tool" for techies.  I am trying to increase its adoption across the board in the organization but things like this a hindrance.

Hopefully this can be included in the next release.

Thanks,
Bobby

OIC, then submitting this as a bug report or a change request would seem to be in order. Good catch!
