General Board / enum tagged value dependent on another value
« on: March 14, 2009, 04:16:33 am »
Is there a way to define a tagged value of type=enum and make the enumerated values dependent on the value of another tagged value?

Ex. If TaggedValue1=A, then TaggedValue2 options are (x,y,z); but if TaggedValue1=B, then TaggedValue2 options are (l,m,n).

Is there a way to allow a user to select more than one value for a tagged Value that has an enumerated list of values?

General Board / How to remember toolbox folder options?
« on: June 07, 2007, 12:54:13 pm »
How can I customize the list of toolbox folders and have it remembered between sessions?

As of EA 6.5, in Tools/Options I can temporarily limit the visible folders using UML Element Toolbox dialog and Save Folder List option.  However, the next time I start EA, all the folder have returned.  This used to work in EA 6.1.

General Board / Re: Bug:Maintenance Editor Reported/Resolved By Fi
« on: April 09, 2007, 11:34:56 am »
I hit this too (in EA 6.5).  In order to be able to clear the Completed By field on an Element Issue and prevent it from defaulting to the first person in the list, I added a new Project Author with just a blank space for a name.  On Element Issues, the Raised By field seems to be correctly defaulting to the current user.

General Board / Carriage-return or line-feed in an element name?
« on: March 29, 2007, 07:57:11 am »
Is there any way to force a carriage-return or a line-feed within the name of an element?  

Often it improves readability of a diagram to force parts of a name (on a flow, or in an activity, etc.) to start on a new line.  Simply resizing does not satisfy the need.  This would also be extremely useful in link names and guard conditions.

General Board / can't hide structured acitivity stereotype in 6.5
« on: March 01, 2007, 10:07:52 am »
In 6.5 (Build 798), I cannot find any way to hide <<structured>> on activity diagrams.  In 6.1, I could just check the Hide Element Stereotype.  That is now Show Element Stereotype in 6.5 and doesn't seem to have any effect.  Any ideas how to hide the <<structured>> stereotype in 6.5?

Thank You!!  Using valueOf does exactly what I wanted.

General Board / tagged values as properties in rtf doc?
« on: February 28, 2007, 02:14:13 pm »
In release notes for 6.5 it states "Ability to include tagged values as specific object level properties", but I cannot find a single word of explanation of how to do this in the documentation.

I have extended the standard requirement element with several tagged values.  In my documentation, I want to have each tagged value (by its name) placed in a separate table column (the same as you can with named properties).

Any suggestions how to do this?

Bugs and Issues / Unable to set diagram margins
« on: October 11, 2008, 01:23:16 am »
In EA 7.1, I am unable to change the margins on a diagram.  Under File > Page Setup and also in the diagram properties Diagram tab > Page Setup > Advanced > Page Setup, the Margin settings are grayed out and can't be changed to something other than 1 inch on all margins.  The resulting diagrams in rft documents leave lots of extra room around the diagram.

Thank you Dermot.  I learned what I needed from the 'Rich-Text Format Document Generation in EA' whitepaper (much better than EA help content).  I had dragged folders to the Model Document and that apparently overrides a specified search for the Model Document.  The whitepaper made it clear that it is an OR - use search, or drag packages.  I had to create new reports to use because the search results don't take packages into account.  I would much prefer the search was applied to packages dragged to the model document - oh well.

I have spent hours trying to get a Model Document to work, in 7.1 (831), using a search specified on the SearchName tagged value (both with a search value predefined in the search and as a SearchValue).  I have verified that the search works when used by itself in the Browser.  However, I have been unable to get the search to apply when generating the rtf document on the Model Document.

Does anyone know a way to filter what elements are included in an rtf report based on the value of a Tagged Value?
