Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Format of internal documentation when exportin

« on: July 15, 2006, 10:17:47 am »

Hello,

I mean the 'linked documentation' (new feature of V6 (?) I think).
The 'bunch of hex' is in reality a base64 coded zip file (you can try opening it by exporting XMI, copying the hex bytes to one of the free online base64 decoders, saving the result to foo.zip). Inside the zip file there is the linked documentation (I think the filename was 'str.dat' or something like that). But I don't know the file format of this file. I think its proprietary.

it would be wonderful to get a standalone program from sparx that converts this thing into RTF, or a function in the EA automation interface to save a 'linked document' into rtf directly...

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Format of internal documentation when exporting

« on: July 07, 2006, 02:14:14 am »

Hello,

I want to write a report generator for EA (no, I don't want to use the built in one - I have my causes) and I wondered about the format of the linked documentation after export.

What I know is, that it is a base64 coded ZIP File that contains the documentation.
But what format does the documentation have? It is not RTF... It seems to be proprietary.

Dear Sparx, could you provide a tool / automation function to convert the documentation to RTF, please?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Window is shown when exporting XMI

« on: July 07, 2006, 02:18:53 am »

Hello,

I have written a tool that exports XMI from EA.
I have hidden the application window, but the export window is still shown.

I assume that updating the window costs much processor capacity - because of the the export is kind of slow.

Sparx, could you fix this in a future release?
thanks
