Title: Can't view diagram after save and open
Post by: morkus on January 23, 2005, 07:48:27 am

OK, I'm new to EA. I really like the product.

However, I'm having a problem where I create a class diagram, save it, close EA, open EA, and then click on the project I saved, but I don't see how to get to the class diagram.

I'm sure this is a simple thing I'm doing wrong.

Can someone please explain how I open a saved class diagram once I exit and re-start EA?

Thanks!!!

Just checking.  Do you have the Project View (or Project Browser) open.  (View | Project Browser) You should be able to browse through that tree and find your diagram.

Yes, that was it, but it shows up under USE CASE Views even though it 's a class diagram.

You have full control over where a diagram is created, it can be within any package regardless of the diagram's type.

You should at first think about your project structure. New diagrams are always created under the package which is highlighted in th project browser.

Create a top level diagram somewhere and select Diagram/Set as Model Default from the menu. Drag your next level packages onto that diagram. When you double-click any package the top most diagram of the according package will be opened (default behaviour). The next time you open the model, your top level diagram will show up.
