new Link Type in Relationship Matrix
« on: October 29, 2012, 08:19:08 pm »
Hi all,

Anyone knows how to make Relationship Matrix recognises more Link Type. I created an new MDG technology with some extended relationships and elements (new stereotypes), all works fine except that I couldn't use Relationship Matrix because my new relationships are not recognised. Anyone experiences the same issue?

Kind regards!!

Not sure, but I guess the drop dow for relations and types is a fixed list. So likely you need to ask for a new feature?

I rekoned that the list was expanded as soon as we install new MDG technologies such as TOGAF or BPMN. All extended relationships from TOGAF and BPMN toolbox (e.g. Establish, Evaluate, PerformsTaskIn...) are shown in the list. Not sure if there is any setting to register new link types to that list.

Cheers!!

If that's so you should send a bug report to Sparx (link below on page). I was just assuming the lists are fixed.

In your profile define the stereotype as a metatype using the "_metatype" attribute. EA then treats that as its own type instead of "just" a stereotype applied to another type.
