General Board / Re: Adding Model Templates to A MTS file

« on: April 28, 2008, 10:47:46 am »

Hi Roy,

Here is the MTS file contents - I have followed the instructions in the help file. As I said the profiles and Diagrams work fine but not the Model Template. IS it the format of the bolded section or another issue that would cause the problem

Regards
Rossco

<MDG.Selections model="G:\Business Analysis\Analysts\EA\EA Implementation\Implementation\Implementation Model\Implementation Model.EAP">

Have done that and the diagrams and tollboxs all work fine but The Technology/template is not showing when using the Add wizard to create a new model.

Is there anything special that you need to do. I have exported the model to XML and added the reference in the MTS file.

Regards and thanks for the feedback

General Board / Adding Model Templates to A MTS file

« on: April 21, 2008, 08:01:18 am »

The instructions are as follows

Open your MTS file in a text editor and copy and paste the following <ModelTemplates> block at the top level inside the <MDG.Technology> block:

<ModelTemplates>

  <Model name="Template Name"

         description="This is the description."

         location="MyTemplatePackage.xml"

         default="yes"

         icon = "34"

         filter= "Filter Name"/>

</ModelTemplates>

You can include as many <ModelTemplates> blocks as you have model templates. The attributes have the following meanings:

There is no <MDG.Technology> block: in the MTS and when I Add the Model Template into the MTS file it dosen't work,

Any Ideas?

Bugs and Issues / Connector section of diagrams in RTF Templates

« on: December 11, 2009, 12:27:55 pm »

I want to place connector details from a diagram in a table. When I select the Conector section of the Diagram section in the RTF template and add any feild when I use the template I get somthing like the following:

[highlight]Connector[/highlight]
The fields names
[highlight]Connector[/highlight].

Tried 5 times - same result - this looks to be a bug with the RTF

I am using EA 7.5.850

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Alternate image in MDG

« on: April 22, 2010, 08:54:13 am »

If you want to apply an alternative image for an element in diagrams you can do this using shape script and the image function

image(
       string imageId,
       int left,
       int top,
       int right,
       int bottom)

Where the image ID is the name of an image in your model
(Settings- >Images) and the rest is formating

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Adding a Element to a diagram

« on: February 02, 2011, 12:07:44 pm »

Hi I am trying to add an element to a diagram using C#
I have the diagram and the element and a using the sample VB.net based code

EA.Diagram MyDiagram = MyRepository.GetCurrentDiagram();
                    EA.DiagramObject O;
                   O = MyDiagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew("l=200;r=400;t=200;b=600;", "");

I get the following error

Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'EA.DiagramObject'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Any Ideas on how this should work

Regards

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Referencing Remote MDG Technologies

« on: May 19, 2008, 08:11:08 am »

Hi there

We are completing an implementation of EA which includes some MDG Technologies. We wanted to deliver these via a web site which an internal site and therefore is referenced in the follwing format
http://test.crossroads.company.internal.nz/WebSite/

EA creates an error with this referenece
Ciode = 0xc00ce56d
Source = Line: 1; Char :145
Error description = End tage 'head' does not match the start tag 'Meta'

Have tried the following variations:

http://test.crossroads.company.internal.nz/WebSite
- Still throws the error

test.crossroads.company.internal.nz/WebSite
No error but it can't seem to see or be able to read the XML files.

I have browse and read access to the website and can open the files in IE.


Any ideas?
