Stereotype does not show when dragged from custom toolbox into a diagram.

[sidietz]

Hi,

I am trying to add a custom profile and a corresponding toolbox.

I have a profile with a class metaclass and an ADO stereotype extending it.
I have a corresponding Toolpage Metaclass and Stereotype(s), as well.

However, after I exported the MDG tech and imported it, when I drag the ADO element from my custom toolbox into a diagram (with loaded MDG tech) it does not show up. Neither in the project browser nor the diagram. (But I neither get a warning nor an error).

For test reasons I also added an ADO2 attribute in my Toolbox Stereotype with a non existing package. Trying to drag this element into the diagram throws an Error.

What am I missing and why does EA not show an error although the element is not created?

To be more specific, my ToolBoxPage metaclass is extended by a TestElement with 2 Attributes(SP:ADO = ADO, SP2:ADO = ADO2)

Best regards

In most cases that is because the toolbox definition has a typo or something.

Have you tried to remove the toolbox attributes, and add them again using the profile helper?

PS. "ADO" might not be an ideal choice as stereotype as it might clash with an existing stereotype somewhere. I made it a habit of naming stereotypes with a prefix just like in ArchiMate. So my stereotype would be ABC_ADO, where "ABC" is an abbreviation of my profile name.

Needs to be double colon, SP2::ADO

Needs to be double colon, SP2::ADO

Sorry, that was a typo in my forum post. In EA I used double colons.

Removing the old toolbox and using the profile helper to recreate it fixed my issue, Thanks!
