Title: Creating elements by selecting text in a LinkedDoc
Post by: stevesavage on July 28, 2015, 05:18:23 am

I make heavy use of Sparx EA's ability to import Linked Documents as RTF files so I can trace requirements and other artifacts explicitly to statements taken from these source documents.

Details of how I do this can be found at http://stevenksavage.com/?p=22

Unfortunately step 3.1 no longer works. When I do the following steps:

Select the text that you want to create a Statement from
Menu: right click on the select text -> create -> new -> other
In the “New Element Dialog”, Select Toolset -> requirements
Select Type: Requirement
In Stereotype: type “statement”
Press Create

Previously at this point Sparx EA would create the new Element, and the selected text would now be a hyperlink to the new Element.

Now, Sparx EA still creates the element, but instead of creating the hyperlink it deletes the selected text.

Create -> New Requirement works as expected.  But not Create -> New -> Other
