Cutom Toolbox profile - MDG technology

[ferran]

Hi Sparx support,

I have got a similar problem.

I create and MDG technology with a custom Toolbox profile created following the sparx support link: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.1/modeling/add_toolboxes.html

The toolbox profile implements 3 other profile that extend a Block class type with special icons.
Then I created the MDG technology with the bitmap files for the icons, the profile xmls and the toolbox xml.

I checked the process and it follows all recommendations from Sparx on how to create and MDG technology.

Afterwards I import the MDG technology into my company official project and it does not recognize the elements in the toolbox, I close the project and open it again and change a couple of times the focus of selection of the toolbox and then it recognizes the elements but with random icons: sometimes the block icon is displayed, other times the stereotype icon is displayed and also I found once like a pie chart icon.

I checked the .xml file of my MDG technology and compared to other MDG technologies that comes with the Ultimate edition and nothing seems to be wrong.

Could someone help me with this one?

I post it here because I think this is quite related to what Paolo is explaining.

Kind regards,

Ferran.

You probably have the same profile loaded in multiple MDG's.

make sure that you use only one method of distributing MDG's (Model, path or user profile) and that you don't have multiple versions of the same MDG somewhere.

Hi Geert,

I make that sure, I do not have the duplicate warning anymore but the real problem is still there.

I tried adding the _metatype attribute with the icon together in the same stereotype.

Also does not work... Some ideas?

Ferran.

It's hard to guess what's wrong without seeing the technology file. Would you be able to post it to [email protected] please?
