General Board / Re: Exporting diagrams from EA to VISIO

« on: November 23, 2021, 07:23:08 am »

The add-in technically works and the latest version does produce a pretty good SVG. But, when you import into Visio, the objects are no longer nested and what should be a single nested object in an ERD has many overlays that are individual and unconnected objects making manipulation of the diagram pretty near impossible. Good effort for simple diagrams.

General Board / Current APQC Retail Version 7.2.1

« on: December 03, 2020, 05:13:07 pm »

There is a really nice APQC model that "Sunshine" posed a while back. Question: Does anyone know of a current EAP model for APQC Retail Version 7.2.1? Is there a way to update Sunshine's model to the current version?

Not sure if you are still monitoring this. I downloaded your GitHub and it looks like a really nice piece of work! Question: Do you have a process for updating the model with the current version of APQC, or, updating to use APQC retail?

General Board / Re: Show hidden relationships (connectors)

None of these solutions work in version 15 as of 8/6/2019. I cannot find a way to un-hide a relationship line once it is hidden. Anyone?

Bugs and Issues / Specialize > Technologies > Publish > Publish Package as UML Profile not working

« on: July 26, 2018, 07:38:26 am »

I have a <<profile>> Package that contains some extensions to add custom TAG values to Requirements. When I go to save it as a profile, the Publish Package as UML Profile cannot be selected. I also tried Design > Diagram > Edit > Advanced > Save As Profile... and that also won't work. I used to be able to just right-click on the package and save it as a UML Profile that could then be imported. What's going on?

Bugs and Issues / XMI 2.1 export fails to include Not NULL designation

« on: July 18, 2017, 01:45:30 pm »

Anyone else run into this? I have exported, using XMI 2.1 (UML 2.x), a physical SQL Server 2012 Class diagram, using Table elements with attributes that have various types, scale, etc. AND Not NULL indicators. When I examine the exported XMI, there is no sign of the NotNULL indicator.

When I import into Erwin, all the Attribute meta-data is there, except for the NotNULL indicator.

General Board / Re: When I update a UML Profile, how do I apply that update to all EXISTING elements

« on: March 11, 2017, 11:56:56 am »

Nice! Many thanks. Could I request please that when a dialog box says "Synchronize Stereotype" that it concludes with a completion or failure message? Just saying...good UI practice.

General Board / When I update a UML Profile, how do I apply that update to all EXISTING elements

« on: March 11, 2017, 07:43:58 am »

I create a profile for a new <<D365>> Class Stereotype. I defined some custome Tag values. That all worked. Now, I updated that profile to add some new Tag values and to delete an old one. I've updated the profile into the resources. Now, how do I apply this update to all affected elements? I thought there was a simple command to refresh or update all or something like that.

Bugs and Issues / Re: EA 12 Schema Composer not generating XSDchoice

« on: March 08, 2017, 12:13:48 am »

Just wondering if EA 13 corrected this issue in Schema Composer. I would also like to add my opinion that Sparx definately DID push Schema Composer as a handy XSD production tool. I am just starting to use it and I can immediately see the confusion it causes by not natively supporting the full XSDSchema types. Odd to come so close to a perfect product functionality and stop short! I hope Sparx pays attention to this and realizes the benefits of a job well done.
