Suggestions and Requests / Re: Linked Documents in Project Browser

« on: April 03, 2008, 06:37:12 pm »

Just come across this topic - as I am linking use case documents (internal template) to the use case elements in EA.

Looking through the EA help there is an icon that appears for linked documents - but this does not appear in reality.

Please, Please, Please can we have linked document icons on the elements - Otherwise how do we know they are there?

General Board / Re: Move element in project browser

« on: July 04, 2008, 11:52:37 pm »

Hi David,

Thanks for this - Free sort was not enabled - but it's something I will be using in the future! It did however put me on the right track which enabled me to find this...

'Move Components Within a Package in the Project Browser'

'To move a diagram, child package or element within its parent package, click on it in the Project Browser window and click on <uparrow> or <downarrow> in the toolbar at the top of the window. {Edits by Roy, for clarity.}

You could move Class3 in the Project Browser above Class1, or move the Actors package underneath Classes A.

To revert to listing components in alphabetical order, right-click on the package and select the Contents | Reset Sort Order menu option.'

Thanks!

General Board / Move element in project browser

Hi All,

I've mistakenly clicked move element in the project browser in my Class diagram. Now any new classes that I create no longer appear in alphabetical order in the browser - they instead appear at the top of the package. How do I get it back to automatic alphabetical order?

Thanks!

Bugs and Issues / Attaching Child Diagrams

« on: March 26, 2008, 11:31:37 pm »

Hi All,

I have just started using EA instead of Systems Architect, and I have a question about child diagrams. I'm used to being able to add child diagrams to any element of an existing diagram...

E.g. creating a high level business process model and choosing one of the high level activities and attaching a child diagram to it. The child diagram would be a 'next level down' model.

Is this possible in EA?

[edit]
Ok so I can create a new child by right clicking on the activity and selecting - advanced - composite element.

Still cannot find out how to attach a previously created diagram

Uml Process / Messages on Sequence diagrams

« on: September 29, 2008, 09:05:59 pm »

Hi all,

Help needed... I've got messages on my sequence diagram which have the method signature (operation) above them. The method signature is currently showing the type of the parameter rather than the name which I want ...

so

findLine(Integer):Line

whereas I want

findLine(aLineNumber): Line

is there any way to get the name of the parameter to show rather than the type?
