debug mdg technology
« on: April 03, 2012, 08:34:10 pm »
Hi
I have an MDG technology in which I have created several toolboxes associated with different diagram types.
These contain the my  specialised sterotypes, but when I drag an item from the toolbox onto the diagram nothing happens, I can drag standard items onto the diagram.
Is there a good way of debugging the technology?

Uaaahahaha! A good portion of luck!

Honestly, this is black magic. Try re-saving all profile parts once again. That often helps (see also the thread below).

You mentioned another thread?

I experienced the same thing with toolbox definitions for elements of the same metattype. The help says you should specify Toolbox items in the ToolboxPage using MyStero(UML::<Metaclass>). As soon I ommitted the (UML::<Metaclass>) part for Elements extending the same metaclass, it worked.

Usually when this happen then your toolbox refers to a not-existing profile element. Have a look into the xml and find the definition of the toolbox. It might be simple typo.
