Problem with MDG Toolbox
« on: November 14, 2016, 07:58:57 pm »
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me out here.
I have an MDG that was working just fine. I added another toolbox and added New elements to the metamodell.

On each profile I select Advanced -> Save as Profile (all toolboxes and the metamodell).
Then Tools -> Generate MDG.

I have elements in the toolboxes that are Generalisations (of Archimate2::) and Extensions (of UML::). The New toolbox Works fine. My Extensions in the old toolbox don't. The elements show in the toolbox like UML elements and EA will not allow me to model With them. Have I missed a step? Or is there somehing that has gone missing that I need to put back?

Any tips/advice to troubleshoot this problem would be helpful.

I ran into this often. The main cause is that you saved one profile to the wrong location. Delete all from disk, create them new and run the MDG creation. Best you have a break before doing that.
