Relationships in Data Models

[acohen1902]

I am drawing a large data model as a result not all the entities are appearing on one screen which makes it very hard to draw. Is there a way of entering the target and related elements in a box rather than having to physically draw it in the class diagram? thanks

use the relationship matrix, or a "working" diagram.

Is it possible to create a matrix showing just the following: the names and aliases of elements with a given stereotype that are present included in the same diagram as the matrix?

[Geert Bellekens]

There is no such thing as "the same diagram as the matrix" as matrixes don't live on diagrams (or in the model).

But you can base your matrix contents on a query, so in theory that should be possible.

You could also base your matrix on the elements available in a package.

It is possible to embed a matrix specification in a diagram, this what I was referring to.

The problem with the matrix specifications is that you can only store the packages as source/target, no searches or queries.

I think I am getting a bit lost here, on previous versions of Sparx EA it was possible to create a query driven matrix specifications. Have I missed something?
