Scripting: Addnew Type List

[NikoWenz]

Hello,

my goal is to write visual basic scripts in EA with the technology SysML 1.4.
I managed to create different diagrams like Block Diagram or Activity Diagram with the following syntax:
dim newBlockD as EA.Diagram
set newBlockD = newPackage.Diagrams.AddNew("ABCD", "SysML1.4::Activity")
newBlockD.Update
And managed to create a Block with this syntax:
dim newThing as EA.Element
set newThing = newPackage.Elements.AddNew("ABC", "SysML1.4::Block")
newThing.Update
The problem now is i dont find out how actions or sequences are created.
I though it has to be somethin like  SysML1.4::Action and SysML1.4::Sequence.
But this doesn't work.

Is there a list or table which lists all the types?
Or do I need to guess what is the keyword?

Just create any of the unknown elements in an empty (!) EAP and run the query

Code: [Select]

SELECT * FROM t_xrefThat should help you to find out the correct stereotype.

If there is no entry in t_xref you probably have created an un-stereotyped element.

Alternative is to open the SysML1.4 MDG file (found in Installation Folder\MDGTechnologies)

That is a readable xml file that lists all stereotypes in that technology.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I think the problem is that as u mentioned the elements dont have Stereotypes.

Do I need to create something without a Type and then add the tag sequence?
And to do this how could i create an Element without a type?

set newThing = newPackage.Elements.AddNew("ABC", "")

Just leaving it blank doesnt work.

I just looked again at https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.5/automation/element2.html

And found the type list I searched for:
(Strangly I often tried Action and Sequence and it hadn't worked, but now it does ... I am confused but happy, because it works now )
