Edit with Profile Helper - not an option?!
« on: September 26, 2013, 07:01:18 pm »
Hi all,

I've been playing around with creating an MDG Technology to provide a framework for a particular type of analysis we do at my work. Looking at the online help (including the webinar video provided by Sparx) and they refer to an option on the 'right click' menu called 'Edit with Profile Helper'. This option doesn't exist in my version of EA and I'm not sure why.

Is it linked to the version or release? I have 1009 Corporate edition.

Any help appreciated, as the helper seems a much easier way to get an MDG going, saving reference to all the attributes I need!

Rgds

Have you turned on the MDG Technology Builder?

If yes, can you tell the steps where you expect the menu?

If you mean have I created a Model from a Pattern 'MDG technology Builder - Basic Template', then yes, I have. I've tried it with the Simple Template too.

Once I have a stereotype or two (created using the 'Add Stereotype' or 'Add Diagram Extension' tools), I'd expect to right click on the created stereotype and select an option 'Edit in Profile Helper'. The profile helper appears when i'm creating new items, but won't then let me go back and edit them in the helper, as there is no option to do so.

Very strange then, glad it's not me being a numpty! I've lodged a ticket with Sparx. Will see what they say.

Thanks for the assistance, Q.
