Title: Not being able to type a FlowProperty with a Signal
Post by: EAButNotForGames on August 19, 2025, 07:34:49 pm
Does anyone have the same Poblem?
I am using Build 1710

This is of no help to you but I can confirm it does work in 1625 and there's nothing in the release history to suggest that this functionality has been altered in any way since then.
Sorry I don't have 1710 to hand to help you out further.

Out of interest, how are you trying to apply the signal type to the flowproperty?

In the properties window of the FlowProperty, under Type.

This worked in older EA Versions. I used it through Version 16. And I am pretty sure it worked in the release version of 17.

I was trying to model the signal flow in an IBD. And while creating the InterfaceBlocks I noticed this bug.
Based on the SysML specification: "A FlowProperty shall be typed by a ValueType, Block, or Signal."
Value Type and Block still works though.

Just FYI,

With my free SysML add-in, we can create a FlowProperty with a Signal by dragging a Signal in the Browser onto an InterfaceBlock on a diagram. We do not need to have two (or more) steps to define an InterfaceBlock for a Signal.

HTH,

Yeah you're doing everything that should work then I think, sounds like a genuine bug!
