Title: Is there a "UML mode"; if so, how to set EA to "UML mode"
Post by: avi10000 on December 28, 2022, 11:11:08 am: Hi,
I have been using EA in "SysML mode" (if there really is such a mode...) for quite a while. By "SysML mode", I mean that the model seems to always offer me SysML diagrams when I want to add a diagram.

But I don't remember how I set EA to "SysML mode" (if there really is such a mode...).

Now I am starting a new project in UML, but as above, I do not know who to set the model to "UML mode".

If there really is a UML mode how do you set EA to UML mode?

Thanks
Avi

Edit: Fixed grammar in subject line.

I use the first way to filter out what I never use and the second way to filter out what I do not need now.
What is wrong with that?

With the perspective sets and groups, you can filter out what you never use as well.
The disable MDG technology doesn't really work all that well (it never did), so now they have replaced that with the whole perspectives thing (while still keeping the old, broken way, in place)
