Can I drill into a Data Flow diagram?
« on: April 27, 2011, 10:46:53 pm »
In a DFD model, I should be able to drill into a process, and the tool would ensure integrity between the higher and lower level diagram.
Can I do this in EA?

You can create a child diagram by right clicking on the process and choosing advanced>make composite. Unfortunately it creates an activity diagram so  if you want another DFD you'll need to create a DFD and delete that activity diagram.
With regards to checking integrity between the higher and lower level I'm not aware that EA does that. I've only got the corporate version 7.5 so maybe its a feature in another edition or later version.
If not maybe you could put in a feature request to Sparxs.
Happy to help
