General Board / Re: New User - unable to add New Element [SOLVED]

@MichaelJ - thank you, your post has unlocked my problem.  By selecting Specialise > Technologies > Manage and then enabling all technologies the toolbar now has the use case element for me to select and add to a diagram.  The New Element dialogue box also now behaves and the drop down fields have selectable values.

Thank you all for your contributions!

Perspective is "All UML"

Toolbox doesn't seem to have a name, contains "common", "common relationships" and "artifacts"

Thanks

Geert,

Thanks for your reply. I already have a use case diagram open, the toolbox that opened with it doesn't have a use case element on it, that was why I was trying to use the New Element dialog box.

Thanks,

Jim

Eve,

Okay, I'm a bit lost now, I don't have any issues with any other applications writing to the Windows registry, I certainly haven't configured anything differently. 

It still feels to me like I'm missing a configuration setting or a toolset that will allow me to add a use case to a diagram.  The current toolbox doesn't have a use case option which is why I was using New Element.

All guidance gratefully appreciated

Thanks

Jim

Eve - thanks for you reply.  I'm not trying to write registry values but the New Element dialog has blank sections.  I'll email you a screenshot
Thanks, Jim

Thank you all for your replies, this is definitely weird, I had presumed that I'd missed a model or other setting.  Will experiment today

G'day,

I've downloaded the EA trial (v15) and installed out of the box.  I've created a "Basic Use Case Model" but when I try and add a new element (I want to add a new use case) the New Element dialog has blank sections so I can't save.

The toolset field says "All Perspectives" but the field to the right only has "UML::Class" and doesn't allow for any other selection.  The type and stereotype fields are both blank and Save and Save & Exit are both greyed out.

I must be missing something obvious in the setup but can't figure out what - all help gratefully received

Thanks
