EA13 - Cant find my self-written Addin
« on: October 31, 2016, 09:23:49 pm »
Hi everybody,

i just installed EA 13 Test. to check if we can use it in the future and experienced one major problem so far.

I've written an Addin which parses .doc(x) files and creates EA entities automatically. Before the user could find it under "EXTENSIONS->MyAddin->Useroperations".

Now I registered my Addin with EA 13 and the menus to start it is nowhere to be found. Is there maybe a difference now to create menu items with the new ribbon interface? Has anyone met this problem? How can I make my Addin accessible again?!

Cheers,
Nils

Have you checked Extent ribbon? You can also redefine the ribbon by using EA_GetRibbonCategory (see http://sparxsystems.com.au/resources/user-guides/automation/enterprise-architect-add-in-model.pdf).

Hi Bob,
As Slávek says, check the Extend ribbon.   However, be aware there was a defect that the Add-In menus didn't show.  This seems to have been fixed in build 1307, it may have been in 1306, but I didn't check.

HTH,
