Feature request: Pre-defined project path variable
« on: October 26, 2020, 10:52:22 am »
Hi development team,

Thank you for providing a great tool.
Recent three month, I am really happy to use the platform in my development time!

I was checking Local Paths features to support relative path for an implementation sources.
This is really nice feature however the user should setup the variables for each environment.

https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/model_domains/localpaths.html

I have an idea to support pre-defined embedded variables to support relative path from a Enterprise Architect project file.
The referenced document is visual studio https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/common-macros-for-build-commands-and-properties?view=vs-2019

The idea:
%ProjectDir% : Pre-defined project absolute path

Sorry for the language, The specified file name is %PROJECTDIR%/03-DiagramObjects/DiagramObjectsAll.cs in the property menu.


The use case:
My team is using git repository and is storing all of the data that related to their project into their repository.



I believe the pre-defined project path variables are really useful to share the Enterprise Architect project.
Please discuss this in your team if you have a time.

You should send a feature request (Support section below) if you want to contact Sparx's developers. This is a user forum.
