LinkedIn is free of charge. So the only price you pay is your personal information.

Yes, I know. Thought it might be nice for other users as well to get a quick impression w/o everyone having to create an account.

I am not on LinkedIn currently. Is the discussion public?

Simple:

Hi Günther,

that is true. skiwi is right that vendor support is really a key "feature".
Unfortunately, this kind of active vendor engagement seems to be found in neither solution. (Which of course is not very surprising from a business point of view.)

Actually I don't want to have to browse the forums on Linked-in, Stack-Overflow, etc,  to elsewhere to collate all the information about EA.

I see and understand your point. It was meant just as an example for a well-run site for discussion in contrast to the options here (see discussion especially about the shortcomings of the forum search here, etcetera).

Yet it is likely that many people might just go there if they find this forum here just too hard or uncomfortable to use.

Its bad enough the forum being separate from the community (not even a link to it from the forum as far as I can see).

Also true.

So this is a reality check, the best place for the forum is sponsored by the vendor.

Should be, but the prerequisites seem to be bad as you pointed out earlier.

The attitude towards "things" - which I interpret as 'customer service' in is driven by Sparx, I'd address your comment to them, perhaps even the CEO, when it comes to advancing these bulletin boards.

Certainly it applies to Sparx, but I definitely see a good share of responsibility with the users to convey the perceived problems.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Hey Geert,

this is really nice to hear. That'll be interesting. Thanks for you motivation and commitment.

Concerning the forum I still don't see why it should not be possible to move on to something that is not so last-century.

I know that just referring all Q & A to the tag "enterprise-architect" at Stackoverflow or pointing at some other established and well-running platform for user support on peer level is not gonna solve the current problems as it would have drawbacks as well. But at least a solution like that would improve usability, searchability and so on by many dimensions.

Does it have to be a closed forum? Really?

(from skiwi) We seem to be stuck with the current forum.

Please do not take it personal but for me that just does not sound like a good attitude towards things: Especially software developers and business analysts should always be open to improvement and change for the better. Otherwise I guess something might be wrong with their choice of the job. To be clear, this shall be understood as referring to anyone specific here but everybody.

No, we're not in 1999. We always have the opportunity to switch to the better, and sooner or later users might start to vote with their feet and go elsewhere.

Just my thoughts when going through this topic.

Most items work out of the box, however a fine-tuning is recommended.

Hi Stefan,

what would you recommend for the fine tuning?

+1 from me, too.
Maybe a good column indexing on the DB level results in a significant improvement too?

Thanks for your reply. While I think that one is closely related I am not sure if it is 100% the same issue.

I attached a screenshot. IMO that should work with PDF and DOC(X), too; this exceeds the mere improvement of having them imported as linked documents.

As pointed out here... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13232467/is-it-possible-to-do-document-based-artifact-creation-from-a-pdf-file-in-enter/13250013#13250013  ...it would be really great to see support for several more industry standard file formats for document based artifact creation.

Hi,

I'd like to highlight certain class attributes / operations in my class diagram.

How can I do that in EA 10?

Best regards

Wow. That is really a core functionality of a modeling tool missing in EA.

Hi guys,

I know that what I proposed is a workaround that should not be necessary. So I totally agree that it is an issue that you should report to Sparx.
