"quick" stereotype in Stereotypes List
« on: April 21, 2010, 04:03:29 am »
When creating an MDG Technology which uses a QuickLinker specification, you must create a "quick" stereotype which extends the Class metaclass (see EA Help).

This quick stereotype (in build 855 - that I noticed) ends up in the QuickLinker named Profile/Namespace in the Stereotypes dialog.

It shouldn't should it?

Do you mean the stereotype on this page: http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/sdk_for_enterprise_architect/quick_linker_example.htm ?

That's just a worked example. The only required element is the document artifact named "QuickLink".

Yes...    :-[


I can now see it's a worked example.

I take it I can put the QuickLink document in any part of the overall technology profiles?  For example, my preference is to place it into the Toolbox profile (rather than the Stereotypes profile).

Sparx have confirmed the QuickLink document artifact must be included in the Stereotypes section of the MTS file specification.

My testing indicates it doesn't have to be in the stereotypes profile itself, just in a profile that is loaded at the same time (in that section of the MTS specification).
