EA14 Embedded Ports own/inherit embedded ports
« on: August 21, 2018, 06:03:59 pm »
Hi,

I started my design process with EA13.5 and I created interfaces with typed ports which own typed ports as well. So I was able to create a deep structure of embbeded ports which embed ports and so on. Now in EA14 I'm not able to do the same. I just can show ports with one level of embedded ports but I want to show the embbeded ports of the embedded ports.  :o
If I select the embedded port and go to the Features/Interaction Points window I can see the list of its inherited ports. I can select them but they don't appear in the diagram.

Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks in advanced

I guess that ports inside ports are not allowed. A port can only have provided/required interfaces. EA also offers that when you context-click Structural Elements on a Node (ever since). I guess that V14 is just a bit more strict in that respect.

Hello AndiW,

Maybe using the latest build (1423) could solve the issue, if you use older build.

HTH,

Hi,
it seams that it was an issue of the first EA14 Builds. With EA14.1 Build 1427 the problem of showing nested properties on nested properties is working fine.
Thanks to EA developer for solving that issue.
