General Board / Image import woes

« on: June 04, 2014, 05:31:47 am »

I am running EA11 and want to import the Sparx image library.  The directions talk about a menu entry - Project->Model Import/Export->Import Reference Data.  I don't see this enrty.  I have entried to import XML, batch import XML, and import CVS.  If I try to simply import the XML I get an error.  Has anybody done an image library import?  Have I missed something here?

Thanx in advance,

General Board / Re: Cannot reverse C++ var args list (...)

« on: August 06, 2008, 05:52:39 pm »

Was a simple problem - no comma in the function argument list.  For example, EA will barf on

func1( char * tt ... )

although the compiler (g++)  happily accepts it.  EA wants

func1( char * tt, ... )

Sigh....

General Board / Cannot reverse C++ var args list (...)

« on: August 06, 2008, 12:34:44 am »

The following error

There was an error parsing E:\Perforce\depot\branches\logging\legacy\ccs\rtp\NamedChannels\SRCS\Debug.h on line 69.  Unexpected symbol: .      

appears when I attempt to reverse engineer a C++ header where a method's argument list contains an ellipsis, ie. variable argument notation.  Is this a known problem?  Is there a workaround?

Thanx,

General Board / CTF scripting

« on: May 07, 2008, 07:45:28 pm »

Is there a reference for the script language used for the CTF facility?  Can't find it if it exists - otherwise offering an editor without a reference is a little problematic.  In particular, I want to enter keyword substitution strings for SVN in the header of any file generated by C++ file template.  These have the form $<keyword>$; I only see $$ in the generated code.  Clearly the $ sign has some special interpretation - it needs to be escaped - but I can't see how to do it - is it being interpreted as an environment variable - HELP!!

Thanx in advance,

General Board / Namespaces and C++ code generation

« on: April 26, 2008, 10:41:08 pm »

I am attempting to generate C++ source from a class model.  I have a set of packages that looks like this:

Root
-Package1
--Package2
--Package3

I've set Package1 as a namespace root; I want the classes generated in packages 1&2 to be in their appropriate namespaces, ie. I'd expect to see code of the form

namespace Package2 {
...
};

I've set C++ options to generate namespaces.  I've had a look at the templates but I really don't want to fiddle around in that area.  Does anyone have some insight for me here?

Thanx in advance,

General Board / Diaplay a diagram on project load

« on: November 22, 2004, 05:56:26 am »

When I start up the example it shows an index page immediately - I want this behaviour for one of my projects.  How do you make this happen, ie. have one or more diagrams loaded into the viewer pane when a project starts

Thanx,

General Board / Composite Symbology

« on: November 23, 2004, 12:16:24 am »

The help file indicates that a composite element will have a small, graphic icon associated with it.  When I make an element composite, I appear to always get something that looks like the infinity symbol.  I would prefer the icon on my diagrams.  I tried the Auto Subactivities checkbox but this seems to make no difference.  As an aside, the auto sub checkbox bahviour does not seemt to match the documentation for me; its setting does not affect hypelink appearance.

Thanx,

General Board / Globally change diagram fonts

« on: November 18, 2004, 01:34:05 am »

How do I change a diagram's font globally?  More generally, I'd like to be able to have various font charactaristics assigned to elements, ie. notes, uses cases, extentsons, etc.  I see the syle area but this seems to cover colors and line weight.  I can also set fonts for individual elements by through the appearance meny item; the same does not appear to be true for connections.  It would be nice to set fonts by element cleass rather than have to change each element individually.

Than.

General Board / Re: Zicom Mentor Integration

« on: November 18, 2004, 12:26:56 am »

Yes, I'm using the help meny item.  Is there any chance that firewall, privacy, or virus protection could be getting in the way?  It would seem this must work for most folks otherwise there would be an instant answer so I am assuming it is something to do with my system here.  I am running ZoneAlarm under Windows 2000 or XP (tried the installation on 2 systems just to check).

Thanx,

Yup - had tried "{...}" - no joy.  I'm confused

General Board / Zicom Mentor Integration

« on: November 17, 2004, 06:09:08 am »

I've installed a full version of Mentor.  When I try to configure EA with my serial number it complains that the SN is wrong.  It isn't; I used it to install Mentor.  I can achieve integration by using 'evaluation' as the serial number.  If I do this EA does not complain and I have the Mentor toobar and menu items.  Clearly this is not right but does it make any difference?

Thanx

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: MDG C++ Support

« on: March 07, 2008, 01:32:47 am »

Thanks for that thought, David.  I'm currently (grudgingly) installing 2005 (previously I have been a died in the wool Eclipse/Cygwin/CDT user) because I can't avoid it any longer ... sigh.  One of the issues for me has been that the MDG for Eclipse products do not support C++ (they are exclusively Java) so my hope was a I could sweeten the bitter of pill I'm currently swallowing by a hope of round trip engineering in Visual C++.  Once the installation is in I'll give your suggestion a try.

Thanx,

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / MDG C++ Support

« on: March 06, 2008, 09:03:56 pm »

Are there any of the MDG products that support round trip engineering for C++.  I've seen some indication that this may be the case for Visual Studio 2005 but I'm just not sure.

Thanx,
