Perspective Management

[Paolo F Cantoni]

Response and original enhancement request regarding Perspective Management:

Hello Paolo,

Yes, your understanding is correct.


> Are there any plans to make this more flexible for the users?

We are certainly in the process of making it more flexible for
ourselves. We have long-term aims to support BPMN, SysML and any other
domain-specific standards that might appear in the future, so we are
currently refactoring that area of the code to make it easier for us to
customize perspectives and toolboxes. Recent improvements to the "Show
Profile in UML Toolbox" command are one of the by-products of this.

Whether we go the full distance and make it possible for users to
customize perspectives and toolboxes or not, we don't know yet. I hope
so.


Thank you for your support of Enterprise Architect,

Neil Capey

Thanks for that - but why doesn't Sparx use the Future Plans forum any more - some of those points could usefully have been posted there.

Exactly...

Probably you get nailed to it, once you published it officially

[Paolo F Cantoni]

Sparxians... Take the hint...

If you're not going to use the Future Plans folder...

GET RID OF IT!

... Unless they have Future Plans to use it again ...

But then they would have put a post in there to say that....

But they didn't; so they won't - (finished Sir Humphrey, triumphantly!)
