UML Profile: Order Stereotypes seems to be ignored

[McBie]

Hello,

I wanted to put some order in our profile. So I used the "Order Stereotypes ..." button in the "Save UML Profile " dialogue.

After putting everything in the wanted order  I saved the profile. The profile package now has a tagged value "_profile_data" which seems to contain the order:

<ProfileData><Order><OrderItem node="AWKEntity::class" order="0"/>
<OrderItem node="EntityKey::attribute" order="1"/>
<OrderItem node="AWKDataType::class" order="2"/>
...

So far looking good. But when I import the profile there is nothing ordered.

As I could not find any of the order information in the saved profile  I wonder if the tagged values "_profile_data" should be written but is  not.

Anybody used this feature successfully?

Regards mArco

Latest version of EA doesn't have this button. If you want control over the order in which elements appear in your profile toolbox, create an MDG Technology containing a Toolbox Profile - the user guide has instructions.

Well .. I'm using build 827 which has this button, so you are telling me its not working ?

Allright I tried what you said the "MDG Technology":
 I included two UML Profiles and one Toolbox Profile into it. The UML Profiles coming out okay, but somehow the Toolbox Profile does not.
I made one diagramm containing one <<metaclass>>ToolboxPage and two stereotypes extending the ToolboxPage.
According to my understanding this should give me two Toolbox Pages - one for each stereotype.
But I get only on Toolbox Page with the name of the diagram containing two "stereo type elements".

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

The most likely cause is that you have created a toolbox profile and then included it in your technology as a plain old stereotype profile. You need to include it by adding a <UIToolboxes> line to your .MTS file as described on this page: Working with MTS Files.
