Bugs and Issues / Re: Cannot Open Old Model After Windows Update - DAO.Database [0x00000be9]

« on: August 20, 2020, 02:14:09 pm »

We have a very similar problem after recent updates were applied to MS Windows 10.  I have tried to create a basic model and create a master which seems to work okay. When i try to create a replica I get a message suggesting the database is wrong type or corrupt i.e. "Cannot open database ''. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt."

If I now try and open the master project I get the DAO.Database error i.e. "DAO.Database [3049] Cannot open database '#Temporary QueryDef#'.  It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt."

I have tried a repair but to no avail other than the message changes i.e. "All Enterprise Architect tables in the selected repository are missing, please confirm it is an Enterprise Architect repository and the configured user has the required permissions."

Bugs and Issues / Re: Cannot change diagram object fonts from bold to regular

« on: February 18, 2020, 03:35:33 am »

Thank you Geert, but is it really a feature request? Is it not a bug?

Hi AnnaC,

There is a global system option located via Start->Preferences->Appearance->Bold Element Names. This makes all element names adopt a bold font weight regardless of any user-specified font weight later applied (as any reasonable user would expect!). Turn this off to remove the bold element names from ALL elements on ALL diagrams, you will then be able to set the font weight of each elements as desired.

As previous poster replied, it may be useful to outline this feature request to the Sparx team.

PS: unfortunately, there are many "but it should be simple!" moments you will encounter regarding EA's diagramming capability that will make you pull your hair out. However, continually submitting registered user bug reports and feature requests definitely helps focus the team on delivering a product that will continue to improve over time.
