Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / How to import Ecore Model

« on: July 08, 2015, 08:34:06 pm »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to import an ecore model into EA, but I couldn't find an option to do it (only XMI, EMX/UML2, ArcGIS, Rhapsody and CSV). I'm able to export an EA model in the ecore format, but then import it back into EA doesn't seem possible.
I'm using version 10.0.1005 (Build: 1005).

Thanks in advance!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Add «extend» connector to a custom Toolbox

« on: July 22, 2014, 12:33:01 am »

Hello everyone!
I have been trying to add the «extend» connector used in Use Case Diagrams to a custom toolbox I have for my UML Profile.
I could not find the proper namespace since I've tried:
UML::Extend, UML::extend, UML::Extends, UML::extends or UML::Extension with no success.
Additionally, I've tried UML::Invokes for the «invokes» connector and it worked.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks qwerty.
For those who might be interested I've found useful information here:

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Automatically format DiagramLink position

« on: April 03, 2014, 06:01:39 am »

Hello everyone!
I'm generating some diagrams with classes and their connectors without repositioning the diagramLinks of each connector. Thus, the result is something like this:

I was wondering if there is a way to automatically reposition each connector properly. Manually, we can do something like that by setting the line style (choosing between options like Custom, Direct, Tree Style - Vertical). I know that DiagramLinks have the attribute 'Style', but I don't know if it is used for this purpose.

Thanks in advance!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Extend the list of primitive types

« on: March 06, 2014, 11:30:37 am »

Hello everyone,

Whenever I create an attribute of a class I'm able to select its type from a list (int, char, byte, etc.). Now I would like to know if its possible to extend that list.
Basically I'm developing my own UML Profile/MDG Technology and so I would like that some "primitive" types I've defined (e.g. URL or Image) to appear there. Is it possible to do something like this?

Many thanks!

Ok, thanks anyway.

@MrWappy, thanks for answering and sharing your work.
Unfortunately, it is a bit different from what I intend to achieve.
I'm developing my UML Profile and its supporting framework in the scope of my MSc, so time is a restriction.
@Simon M., can you provide me an example of the code used to represent the Screen and GUIElements?
My goal is to do something similar like SimpleUI or Win32 UI, but instead of depicting a desktop screen (window/form), I want to depict mobile app screens and widgets with some differences.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Simon M,

Thanks for answering. I'm developing a MDG Technology to generate code for Mobile Applications from UML Models. So, my goal now is to enhance the representation of the model by doing something similar to the SimpleUI and Win32 UI, representing my stereotyped classes like screens and widgets (label, button, textbox, list, menu, image, etc.) instead of using their UML default representation.

Thanks!

The SimpleUI.xml doesn't contain any mention to EAShapeScript.
I've imported the SimpleUI.xml in the Resources->MDG Technologies, but nothing useful appears:

• UML Profiles (empty);
• UML Patterns (empty);
• Code Management with empty Code Data Types and Code Templates.

I´ve also copied the UML profile part to another file and imported it in the Resources->UML Profiles, but it basically loads the stereotypes, like in the toolbars.
What I need is the project of the SimpleUI metamodel or the metamodel where GUIElement and Screen are defined.

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I would like to apply a similar appearance to my custom UML profile like the one used in the Simple or Win32 User Interface Modeling MDG Technologiess. I've checked the file SimpleUI.xml in the install folder, but it only contains the icons for the toolbox and I've also noticed that each stereotype is applied to special types of metaclasses (GUIElement and Screen). I would like to know where these metaclasses are defined in order to create a custom version of them.

Thanks in advance!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Change Diagram Representation Style

« on: February 27, 2014, 03:19:18 am »

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if it's possible to create an option to change the representation of a diagram to a custom style. Something like what happens when you go to Diagram Properties->Diagram and select the "Hand Drawn" or "Whiteboard Mode".

Thanks in advance!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Release MDG Technology with EA or in the MDG site

Hello everyone!

I'm developing a MDG Technology, in the scope of my MSc, focused on the generation of Mobile Applications and I would like to know if it is possible to publish my technology with EA or in the MDG Site. If so, how is the process and what I need to do to achieve it.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the helpful answers.
I used the solution proposed by stao with a slight change.
In my case GetManifestResourceStream was always returning null, so I used File.OpenRead instead to get the stream.
