Title: BPMN diagram and toolbox
Post by: gamiddleton on November 27, 2007, 07:07:22 am

When I open an existing BPMN diagram, EA opens the "Class" toolbox.  Is this a bug?  I would expect it to open the BPMN toolbox, which it does when I click on a process, and open the internal process diagram.

Thanks.

Check the diagram type (Menu/Diagram/Change Type) and set it to BPMN/BPMN. If it's already set then I have no idea.

Aha, that was it.  I thought I had changed type to BPMN, but it had reverted to Class somehow (probably operator error).  Seems to be ok now.

Thanks again.

When you first create the diagram, but (very) careful to set the diagram type to Extended | BPMN in the new diagram dialog.

It's easy to default to Class (or whatever you've used recently).
