Help Showing Attribute Notes in Project Browser
« on: August 04, 2009, 05:32:53 am »
I'm running EA 7.5.845 and earlier today I did something that resulted in my ability to edit attribute notes from directly within the project browser to disappear.  In other words, the notes window used to show up under my list of classes, now it shows up as a separate tab in the project browser.  Any idea what I need to do to get it back the way it was?

Check whether you've opened the Notes pane. From the EA menu look at View | Notes. The menu pad should indicate whether the pane is open. You can toggle it from there.
No, you can't have it!

I've got the Notes and Project Browser windows open, both floating instead of docked.  Then I stack the Project Browser window on top of the Notes window so that both are visable.  This is okay but not the solution I was looking for.

I feel certain that the Notes window used to appear within the Project Browser window (at the bottom) - so that the two windows didn't need to be stacked.  Maybe there is a view that allows for this?  I see a View --> Model Views window but no views defined.

Thank you

Play around with the docking a bit. You need to dock the Project Browser to the top (bottom) of the EA main surface, and the Notes window to the bottom (top). What you do is dock one window (set) to the side. That is probably the situation you have when the Project Browser (for example) is docked but the Notes window is floating. Then drag the other to nearer to the corner than the center of the docked window. Don't immediately let go of the mouse button, but move around a bit. You should eventually see an additional set of docking controls near the bottom (top) of that side. Move your mouse to these controls and drop the window. If all goes well your new window will occupy that corner and the original set of windows will be 'pushed' to the top (bottom) corner. Now you will have the 'stacked' appearance you desire, with both windows visible.
No, you can't have it!
