General Board / Re: Tagged values to association end with MDG

« on: June 15, 2022, 07:51:32 pm »

Thanks Geert,

I reported it as a bug.

The bottom one is a tagged value to the connector target and not to the connector (I had the same confusion). It is however not to the stereotyped connector target.

Here comes the image.



Or this link:https://github.com/Geonovum/nen3610-werkomgeving/blob/main/Naamloos.png

 It shows the tagged value window of an association.

The association TV's are no problem.
The connector target TV's (red line) are provided by the MDG made toolbox of profiled association end metaclass. The values for the TV's can not be entered ()
When a TV is manually added (the botom one) than a value can be entered.

General Board / Tagged values to association end with MDG

« on: June 14, 2022, 08:15:17 pm »

Hi All,

I have EA 15.

I have created a UML classdiagram profile and toolbox with MDG. It contains several stereotypes with each a set of tagged values. It works perfect for all metaclasses except for the association rol (or end).
The association role is added by dragging a toolbox item with the name of the stereotype.
Two issues:
1) When the association role is added, the stereotype is correctly placed but no tagged values show up.
- I overcome this issue by synchronizing the profile for this particular stereotype and then the tagged values do show up. This works but is very inconvenient.
2) And this is more troublesome, I can't put any values in the tagged values.  . The value field is not editable.

Does any body have a clue?

When I put tagged values manually at the target of an association the value is editable. But somehow they seem to be at a different 'level'.

(I tried to put in an image but can't find how to)

thanks,

Paul

Thanks again Geert! The .emf seems to be a .wmf improvement. It does the job, though the image result is a bit different from .wmf

General Board / Save diagram as WMF not possible?

When trying to save a diagram as an image I noticed that the WMF image format is not available anymore. Is that true? And if so, it is a serious setback because the WMF format is scalable.

thanks,

General Board / Re: synchronizing stereotypes and tagged values

Thanks all for your input.

What about exporting the model to XMI and then replacing old profile name with the new one?

This is what I did and it seems to work. Luckily the old name had a unique set of characters so replacing was straight forward and not causing any surprice replacements. After that, synchronizing with the new MDG worked.

A replace "oldname::" with "newname::" is probably more dedicated.

Or "FQName=Oldname" by "FQName=Newname"

General Board / synchronizing stereotypes and tagged values

« on: March 19, 2020, 01:05:02 am »

Hi,

In the past I have developed a MDG with a toolbox of several stereotypes for classdiagrams.
Recently I modified this MDG with new tagged values for several stereotypes and gave the MDG another name.

When loading the new MDG in an EA that already has the old MDG installed. I first get a conflicting error about a duplicate profile ID.
This can be overcome by removing the old MDG. So far so good.
However I do not succeed in synchronizing the allready declared old stereotypes with the stereotypes from the new MDG. I mean stereotypes with the same name in the old and new profile but with newly added tagged values.

When I right click on the stereotypes in the Toolbox and select "synchronize stereotype" nothing happens.

Should not al elements with the same sterotype name automatically get synchronized? Or is there something hidden that I don't see.

I appreciate your help.
Paul

General Board / Re: list of profiles does not show up.

Hi Geert,

Great! It works. Thanks. I had in fact no particular perspective chosen, which normally is not an issue. All were active, which is default. What I did was a reset of Global Perspectives and the job is done. It works as before. I had this issue for more than a year!!!

General Board / list of profiles does not show up.

« on: January 16, 2020, 09:57:22 pm »

Hi,

I have a problem selecting stereotypes for a UML element.

When selecting a stereotype for for instance a uml::class, in the stereotype select window normally a list of profiles to chose from shows up. This list was always very extensive and included my own imported MDG's. Now only a very limited list showes up and not including my MDG's. How is that possible? Have I changed something in the EA specs? When I open the MDG Technologies window, all the available profiles do show up and are active. But as explained they do not show up in the list of stereotype profiles.

I am almost thinking that there is something wrong with my EA installation.

Has any body an idea?

General Board / extend abstract metaclass

« on: January 16, 2020, 08:59:15 pm »

Hi,

A similar question was posted some years ago, but as I understand it, not answered.

I want to extend the abstract metaclass EnumerationLiteral as a specific stereotype with tagged values. This does not seem to work. It works for core elements but as I understand not for the Abstarct Metatypes. Is this a correct assumption? What should I do to make it work? That is, how to extend the Abstract Metaclass EnumerationLiteral?

Thanks,

Paul

General Board / Re: restrict use stereotypes to other stereotypes

« on: November 22, 2019, 11:58:47 pm »

Yes you are right in that respect. But my question is different. I have created attribute stereotype <<X>> and two Class stereotypes <<Y>> and <<Z>>.

I want the attribute stereotype <<X>> only te be applicable to attributes of a class of stereotype <<Y>> and not of type <<Z>>.

General Board / restrict use stereotypes to other stereotypes

« on: November 22, 2019, 09:50:57 pm »

Hi,

I created a UML classdiagram profile and a related MDG and toolbox, which is working correctly. I created several stereotypes for classes and several for attributes. What I want now is that certain stereotypes on attributes may only be used in classes of specific stereotypes. So restricting attribute stereotypes to specific class stereotypes. Is this possible?

General Board / Re: unique stereotypes names in one profile?

« on: November 15, 2019, 10:51:06 pm »

Major breakthrough. It does indeed work when I define each <<Choice>> in a separate profile and combine them in one toolbox profile. And later combine everything in one MDG. Perfect!

thanks again!

« on: November 15, 2019, 02:46:41 am »

Thanks.
Your solution does work when the <<Choice>> stereotype has the same definition and more important no, or the same set of tagged values. However, I need different sets of tagged values for each specific <<Choice>>. A <<Choice>> applied to Attribute has different tagged values than a <<Choice>> applied to DataType.

It seems that this is not possible in a profile or a MDG.
