Thank you very much, Simon, that's what I was seeking for!

The diagram specific option "Properties | Diagram | Use Alias if available" is not what I am looking for. In previous versions of EA it was possible to show the name and alias in paranthesis at the same time. To get this Feature work you needed to go into the General Options and set the Option "Use Alias and Name" afaik in the diagram properties. I cannot find this anymore in the newest version!?

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Display connectors'tags on a diagram ?

« on: September 05, 2013, 11:22:27 pm »

yes, but only with an own connector stereotype with an associated shape script (http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/extending_uml_models/displaying_element_properties.html) .
This can best be done by creating an own UML profile. Create a stereotype (e.g. "CRUD") that extends a metaclass (e.g. "Dependency")
Create an attribute (e.g. CRUD) that will convert to a tagged value when using the stereotyped connector from the profile. Create a second attribute on the stereotype named "_image" and click on the ... button on the right of the field "Initial Value". The shape editor will open an you can add a shape script to display a label (e.g."
shape MiddleTopLabel
{
      // display the CRUD Value
      print("#TAG:CRUD#");
      showlabel ("middletoplabel");
}"
Save the diagram as a UML profile and load it from the resource view.
Now you will be able to use the stereotype from e.g. the toolbox of your profile containing your stereotype. Once you apply a value to the tag, it should then appear on the diagram. hth!-)

Suggestions and Requests / Re: shape script command setFontColor()

« on: January 03, 2007, 07:38:47 am »

As documented in the help-file (EA.chm::/miscellaneous.htm) you cannot declare variables at the moment. So the unique use of the get.. functions relies in their use as parameters in set... commands.
I wonder wether one of the two commands setpen() and setpencolor() might resolve the problem?

Suggestions and Requests / shape script command setFontColor()

« on: January 02, 2007, 05:58:03 pm »

For the moment the font color cannot be set by a shape script even though there exists a command "getUserFontColor()";  
My request:
Add a command "setFontColor(int red,int green, int blue);"

Further suggestion (see after "==>"):
why the set commands do not correspond to the according get commands:

• setfillcolor()<-> getUserFillColor()==> OK
  
• setpencolor()/setpen() <-> getUserBorderColor()==> setBorderColor()
  
• ?? <-> getUserFontColor() ==> setFontColor()
  
• setpenwidth()<-> getUserPenSize() ==> setPenSize()

General Board / How to suppress list of ports in SysML Block?

« on: December 01, 2011, 06:26:07 pm »

With EA 9.2 all of a sudden the ports and flow ports are listed inside the block on block definition diagrams as well as on internal block diagrams (SysML 1.2).
This is in most cases redundant to the ports shown on the boundary of the block.
I haven't yet found a way to suppress the visibility of these compartments. Can somebody help me, please?

General Board / Report on team review

« on: October 28, 2011, 02:58:27 pm »

I posted quite a lot of info into the team review. Now I'm afraid that I need to get these topics (at least partially) out of EA into a document. Up to now I haven't encountered any possibility to report on team review content. Am I missing something?

General Board / Re: Missing "linked elements panel"

« on: October 28, 2011, 02:52:31 pm »

In the former EA discussion forum you had a section in the lower right part where you could drag&drop elements, diagrams from the project browser to refer to them.
With the new EA team review you have to drag these reference elements to the related topic on the left hand side section of the team review view. This adds a child node "Model Links" with the referenced elements below.
I must admit that I missed the more user friendly link view from the discussion forum but I guess this is due to the fact that the same document editor is now used for team review posts.

Hi, meanwhile I succeeded to connect to an EA-DB in a mySQL Server 5.0 with Version EA 7.0.81x.

Apparently I had to use a system-dsn in the ODCB connection, not a user-dsn. I also entered directly userid and password in the odcb-connection definition.

Having reconnected today I get some ugly messages when creating a new mindmapping topic ":Microsoft Cursor Engine [-2147217864] ..."

beside that, it works -> hope that might help you too

Hi
I'm trying to connect to a mysql db (Server version 5.0.37, Client 5.1.11). The odbc-connection test runs without problems (myodbc version 3.51.15). Even from ms access I can connect to the ea-db I created with the script.
But when trying to connect to the db from ea corp. edition version 6.5.806 I get the same error message Provider [-2147418113]. The same error happens when trying to transfer an *.eap content to the same database (followed by the message "could not open the database").
So I guess the answer isn't that simple

General Board / Re: Am I the only one who hates the template edito

« on: January 23, 2007, 06:20:24 am »

Intendation now seems to work quite well (built 802)
Still some problems remain :
a) when adding the diagram note after diagram.image, .figure, .name in the rtf-editor, the report ends after the first diagram (same thing with child diagram of element)
b) guard conditions of control flows do not appear in report, when condition of connector is chosen in template editor

I'll rise an issue at sparxsystems when someone else encounters the same problems
