General Board / Re: hyperlink to an EA diagram

« on: December 27, 2007, 05:13:36 am »

Thanks david for your detailed answer. My main problem is, however, not to open the EAP project with a default diagram, but to open a *specific* diagram *within* the project. In our project, we have many diagrams, e.g. one for the use case "Create Customer" and one for the use case "Create Order". If the user is now on a wiki page which deals with orders, I want the user to be able to just click on some link in the wiki page, this should automatically open the EA use case diagram for creating orders *within* a specific EA project.

It would be a viable alternative to use HTML export and link to the generated HTML page, but if the page names are not consistent across differnt publications (as Tom G mentioned in this thread), this of course is no good for us.

General Board / hyperlink to an EA diagram

« on: December 27, 2007, 04:02:16 am »

We have an internal wiki. What I want to do is:

• Insert an URL link into a wiki page.
  
• When the user double-clicks it, EA should open, load the solution and display the diagram specified by the URL.
  

Is something like this possible?

General Board / Reverse engineering C#: Properties as associations

« on: December 31, 2007, 06:19:15 am »

In the Visual Studio class designer, I can right-click on any object-type property and say "Show as association". The class designer then draws a connection line from one class to the other.

Now I import my C# project into EA. All properties are just shown as properties, if they are value-typed or object-typed. Even if the classes are in the same namespace and just sitting next to each other in the class diagram, EA will not show the association. The only exception is, if the property is of an Enum type - then an association will be shown by default.

Is there any similar function to automatically show properties as associations in EA?
