Hi,

Can you please bring back the 'prefer property dialog' option in the visual styles settings?
Pretty please.

Bugs and Issues / Re: v15 Attributes dialog is gone again!

« on: March 15, 2021, 11:42:49 pm »

I want that freaking property dialog back instead of that stupid features tab!!!

I have been using Sparx EA since 2005 and in every single update Sparx has done so far, there's always been the urge to optimize/change the UI, but frankly: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

One angry user.

General Board / Default hide namespaces on diagrams

« on: May 30, 2017, 08:12:32 pm »

Hi all,

Does anyone know how I can change the default setting "Show Namespace" for a diagram?
Each time I create a new diagram, I have to uncheck it manually, which is kind of stupid...

Thanks!

General Board / Document Generation - show linked document

« on: September 24, 2016, 01:03:29 am »

Hi all,

I have a sequence diagram where various webservice calls are modeled on.
For each call, I specify the mapping of the input and output parameters in a (linked) document artifact, which I refer to in the sequence diagram by means of a hyperlink.

The document consists of the sequence diagram, and all the mapping documents which are referred to.

I have created a template which starts from a package where the diagram is located in.

The problem is that I am not able to show the linked document in a generated document, because the element of the diagram is the hyperlink, and not the document artifact itself.
The ea_guid of the document is mentioned in the hyperlink element's name, but I don't know how I can use this in template fragments.

I also cannot drag and drop the document on the sequence diagram, because it is depicted as a lifeline.

Does anyone know how I can generate a document with the linked document via the standard document generation given the above?

Kr.

ps: I have written some vbscript code to generate a document and then I get the wanted result, but I want to make use of the standard functionality of EA as much as possible

General Board / Documentation (template) - Action call operation

« on: March 22, 2016, 06:22:50 pm »

Hi all,

I have modeled an Action element on a diagram, and this Action element references to an operation defined on an interface. (by filling in the Call menu item in the properties dialog)

I tried to capture this information in a generated document, but I do not know how. I cannot find the link between the Action element and the operation in the model.

Does anyone know where I can find the relation between the Action and the operation?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Sorry, I was not aware that the database technology could be of any influence.

We are using MS SQL Server.

Does anyone else experience the same problem as I have?

Or can someone (from Sparx Systems) confirm that this is a issue?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards.

Bugs and Issues / Windows Authentication

« on: January 08, 2016, 12:53:23 am »

Hi,

Until now we imported users from Active Directory to manage the users of the repository, and the login is something like "DOMAIN\WindowsUserName".

The latest version of EA 12.1 b1225 allows to import and sync users via Active Directory groups, which are linked to EA security groups. But when users are imported in this way, the login has another form, "Firstname.Lastname" and the Windows Authentication doesn't work anymore. Users must enter a password, but it doesn't seem to be the Windows password.

Is this a bug in the new feature or is there something we are doing wrong?

General Board / Re: Documentation - numbering & fragments

« on: December 23, 2015, 01:54:03 am »

Hi,

Thanks for the input.

I managed to get the desired result by, indeed, selecting the same list (style) in all the templates I have created. (e.g. Masterlist)

I didn't get the result in the first place because the Masterlist value was not available in all the templates in the same eap-file. Maybe some kind of bug in EA.

General Board / Documentation - numbering & fragments

« on: December 22, 2015, 09:47:46 pm »

Hi all,

I have created several template fragments which I want to use in 1 template. In the 'master' template, I have several numbered paragraphs, and in each paragraph I want to include a template fragment. Each template fragment contains a numbered sub element.

The result I want to achieve is as follows:

1. Paragraph A
1.1 Sub element A1
1.2 Sub element A2
2. Paragraph B
2.1 Sub element B1
2.2 Sub element B2

etc.

But all I get is:

1. Paragraph A
1.1 Sub element A1
1.2 Sub element A2
2. Paragraph B
1.3 Sub element B1
1.4 Sub element B2

Can somebody explain how I can get the desired result?

Thanks in advance.

General Board / Customize table of content HTML report

« on: October 17, 2012, 05:49:47 pm »

Hi all,

The toc of a HTML report contains all the elements that are located in the package that is included in the HTML generation.
However, in the toc I do not want to display all the elements, but only elements of a certain type, e.g. only activities and activity diagrams.

Does anyone know what I have to change to the displayToc.js in order to omit the elements I do not want to display in the toc?

Thanks in advance for your input!

General Board / Compartments tagged value

« on: December 17, 2008, 12:49:57 am »

Hi all,

As described in the EA help file I managed to create an UML Profile and added some tagged values to some elements.
However, I would like to organize those tagged values with some categories and this is possible if you work with classes (cfr. Advanced Tag Management), but I fail to do the same thing when defining the tagged values in an UML Profile.

Currently I have two stereotypes, one is an generalization of the other, hoping to have the name of the stereotypes displayed as compartments in the tagged value management window. But it does not work.
Does anyone have an idea what I have to do in order to display compartments in the tagged value list, when defining them in an UML Profile?

Thx.
