Search/Browse Diagram; Make Dockable, flowtable

[PeterHeintz]

I have some users only interested in looking on diagrams (more or less). These “no EA power users” have problems to find the diagrams, they are invested in, due to the other stuff they see in the Project Bowser.

The Browse Diagram feature serves good for the need of those users, but instead of opening each time the Browse Diagram dialog it would be better to keep that dialog open and having the possibility to arrange it on the workbench as all the other “view”.

Hi,

In the community, there is a great article about how to make ModelViews with SQL. With this powerful feature and the community article is well written, you can see the arbitrary information. He uses Diagrams as Example.

See: http://community.sparxsystems.com/community-resources/1023-fast-access-to-each-diagram-in-enterprise-architect.

If you can drop me an email, I send you my MDG with some minor improvement.

Kind regards,

Helmut

Hi Helmut,
Thank you! I know this article and I use something like that among other things already.

My model has got a lot of subsystem and those users are interested in some subsystems only.
The subsystems are arranged in packages and to serve their needs I would have somehow to duplicate the packages in the Diagram View.

"Browse Diagram" is in principle exactly what they need, but it would be better if "Browse Diagram would behave as the Project Browser.
Another option would be to introduce filtering within the Project Browser, however enhancing "Browsw Diagram" seem to me an easy thing.

Hi Peter,

thanks for your elaborate explanation.

I agree, different Views in Browser would be a good idea. Tools like Rhapsody have such features.

Kind regards,

Helmut
