Various Interaction Relationships Missing from EA 14
« on: May 11, 2018, 12:56:11 am »
After upgrading from EA13 to EA14 I noticed the following interaction relationships missing:
1) From the Sequence/Interaction Diagram the self-message is missing.
2) From the use-case diagrams "Invokes", "Precedes", etc is missing.

Is there a way to get these back?
thanks,
DN

IIRC the self message was ever nothing else than the message (kind of synonym). The other stereotypes are not UML standard and for this reason likely have been removed.

The help for EA14 indicates it should be there: http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/modeling_tools/usecasegroup.html
Thats a typical copy / paste issue, the page needs update i guess.

they have removed the invokes, precedes, etc, and have new relationships (substitute, etc). A workaround would be to define <<invokes>> dependency and <<precedes>> dependency and make it available as a default toolbox alongside the new minimal Use case profile
(unless someone here finds out the old connectors from somewhere )

<<invokes>> and <<precedes>> were ICONIX extensions, so will still be available in the ICONIX use case toolbox.

:) was expecting something to be unearthed. Thanks, KP,

I was trying to suggest to use 'Set toolbox visibility' to show the Iconix Usecase relationships, but enabling Iconix Usecase toolbox (obviously after clearing the current perspective!!) doesn't show the relationships.

I think it's just getting interesting. I've spent more time finding things in EA 14 than I'd have done in any other versions :)
