Thank you both Stefan and qwerty - one mre ueston, ifyou iinadvertently delete an activity diagram from the Project Browser, is there any way at all to restore tat deletion?     I guess this is a rhetorical question as all the notes I have read say you cannot undo?

Bugs and Issues / Re: Importing OLE objects into EA object

« on: January 23, 2013, 01:06:39 am »

I wander if anyone has had this problem and could advise a remedy?  

I am working with EA9, and trying to insert an OLE object (pdf) from a network file - here's what I did ....

(1) created an artifact (from the 'Common' toolbox)
(3)  right clicked, and selected 'create linked document'  (click ok at the popup)
(4)  with the cursor on the new document, right clicked and selected  <insert> ... <OLE Object>....select <Adobe Acrobat PDFXML document> ...
(5)  then select <name>.pdf in a network location

First of all a warning box popped up to say that the "SERVER Bysy" and that the action could not be completed vbecuase the other program was busy.  It prompted me to "switch to" activate the busy program and correct the problem"...which I did.... but it then went into a loop and I could not exit.
All I could do was to end the process using task manager and then restart..
Is there anyone out there ( ) who has any knowledge of this error and if so is there a remedy?
Many thanks in advance - Susanna

Uml Process / Re: Activity diagrams in a package - hierchary

« on: February 12, 2013, 03:22:15 am »

Hello there,
I have created several diagrams that sit within a package.   So, they are a group of dataflows belonging to one business model.  within the diagrams I have dataflow connectors that connect to objects that are composite, i.e the objects can be either a function or a spreadsheet.  within the activity diagram of the object I have describedthe function or the spreadsheet to detailed level.
What I want to do is re-assign a master diagram and its composite components within it to another diagram:    so, where I have created a master diagram, as the parent, and linked this out to other diagrams and models, I now need to re-assign that master, ie move the master to another diagram/model to represent the master and then link out from that new location?  does tha make sense?  I am sorry I cant think of any other way to describe it as I am EA self taught and sometimes misunderstand the terminology
Kr  for being patient !! Susanna

Uml Process / Activity diagrams in a package - hierchary

« on: February 12, 2013, 02:53:43 am »

I have created several activity diagrams within a package:  within each activity diagram there are class diagrams, a classic relational diagram where an object type is described to Level 2 (ie defined spreadsheet columns and validations).    
I need to change the relational or linked aspects of one diagram , i.e. move a diagram containing many class diagrams of varying degrees of complexity to another diagram in the same package.    
Is there a way of doing this in EA UML without having to copy and paste new for everything  - will this be automatically reflected in the Project Browser or will I have to update the browser?
 :-/  thank you, Susanna
