Title: EA 10 wishlist
Post by: skiwi on November 23, 2012, 08:45:02 am
OK, I've started playing with EA 10, and, you know, there is a lot of small stuff that it would be real nice to have.
Please feel free to add to this wish list.
Title: Re: EA 10 wishlist: Move multiple in project brows
Post by: skiwi on November 23, 2012, 08:47:42 am
When I select two or more adjacent objects in the project browser I'd like to be able to move them as a group up or down the tree

Title: EA 10 wishlist: tab navigation
Post by: skiwi on November 23, 2012, 08:54:15 am
Improvements to tab navigation,
eg ability to go to leftmost or rightmost tab (eg double arrow)
eg drop down list of all tabs (in status bar) EDIT: this exists, see below

There is a drop-down list of all tabs in the top-right corner of the diagram, just to the left of the close button.

When I select and drag one end of a connector, because I want to move only that end DO NOT move the other end - under any circumstances.

This isn't a new problem, its there in v9, but its a bug, or an unwanted feature.

It appears from your screen shot that you are using Auto-routing line style. You will get better results with the Custom or Orthogonal line styles.

Would be nice if you could modify multiple item at once, from any view.
AFAIK, it is not possible to apply a stereotype to several items from the list view. That would be very convenient.

Title: EA 10 wishlist: Diagram frames shown reduced

Allow diagram frames to be shrunken, rather than always at 100% size.

Yes please!
Most other object wrap - why not packages?

Well, it could be argued that if all you want to show is that section of the diagram, you shoudl create a new diagram for that purpose.

That not withstanding, the ability to manage diagrams frames with both cropping (your example) and scaling would be welcome.

Actually I was trying to illustrate scaling (by dragging the sides of the diagram to reduce the size of the diagram)

Requested before (http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1267047606/0#0), but bears repeating,
how about giving the "Find" dialogue a bit more oomph
Title: EA 10 wishlist: Search and replace
Post by: skiwi on December 05, 2012, 01:09:19 pm
Search and replace.
The basic mechanism already exists with spell check.
I'd be ecstatic with simple string replacement tool built in.

In the same way that images can be scaled.

Title: EA 10 wishlist: stop zooming diagrams > 100%
Post by: skiwi on December 07, 2012, 08:41:12 am
When diagrams are placed in generated documents if they are smaller than the width of the page they are zoomed in (ie show as > 100%).
This leads to poor looking documents.
EA should not increase the size of diagrams automatically.

My diagram is set up as
(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn245/copperkiwi/Sparx/2012-12-0710_27_18-Diagram.png) (http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn245/copperkiwi/Sparx/2012-12-0710_35_30-PrintAdvanced.png)

Here is the diagram

Here is another version of the diagram

Here is the way it is rendered

It would be great if EA Sparx would support the Decision Model Diagram http://www.thedecisionmodel.com)

The notation is different but we do support a form of business rules (http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/9.3/domain_based_models/business_rule_modeling.html).
