General Board / Update diagram on namespace changes

« on: November 20, 2023, 10:27:52 pm »

How do I handle situation where I imported my C# code via Develop->Source Code-> Files and created a diagram from the generated classed and later on one of the classes namespace is changed. When I import my code again I see the new class is generated but I want to update my diagram to use the new class in stead of the old without replacing one with the other. I did see some comments where they suggest using local path but that doesn't help in my case. I just want my element in a diagram to reference the same class but now in the new namespace.

Is there a way to update only the reference to the code and element from an element in the diagram?

Kind regards,

Uml Process / Sequence diagram with concurrent access

« on: March 15, 2023, 01:42:23 am »

I have a question of which I think I have the wrong idea since this question seems to be questioned more than once since the early 2000's and still I miss something. How do I model a blocking collection in a uml sequence diagram. Now I model it like:

• A consumer doing a blocking call item = collection.Take() to the blocking collection (Thread A)
• An another objects adds an item to the collection collection.Add(item) (Thread B)
• A consumer receives a return with item value (Thread A)

but I have the idea that it should be different, since each call is a seperate message group while I expect the consumer call and return to be a single message group because it is in a different context.

Kind regards,

General Board / Re: Import .NET6.0 SDK solution does not import classes

Hi Thomas,

I received feedback from Sparx and they reported the issue as a known issue. It is registered and will probably be handled in the futute.

General Board / Import .NET6.0 SDK solution does not import classes

« on: November 16, 2022, 01:51:02 am »

When I try to import a normal visual studio solution having a .NET6.0 console application it does not generate any class.
I'm using EA 16.1 but previous versions had the same problem.

Do I miss something?

Kind regards,

General Board / Re: Message to self in UML Class diagram

Hi Geert,

Thanks for your quick response. Is it possible than to add that association in the model without affecting the underlying code?

Kind regards,

General Board / Message to self in UML Class diagram

« on: November 02, 2022, 11:57:43 pm »

Hello all,

I would like to know if it is possible to show dependencies to self in a class diagram as an association instead of a member variable when the class diagram is generated by importing code.

For example:
I have a LinkedList pointing to the root of type ListItem. ListItem has to references to itself, _next and _previous.

The dependency from LinkedList to ListItem is presented as an association with label _root, but _next and _previous of ListItem is only showed as private member. For clarity I would like to present them as an association.

Is that possible?

Kind regards,

Frank Litjens

General Board / How to manage a moved class file

« on: August 25, 2022, 10:37:12 pm »

My question is fairly simple and hopefully the answer is just as simple too.

I work on a C# project with a lots of files, namespaces etc. It happens quite frequently that file locations change to different folders or even projects when one class is for example moved to a different library.

My question is the following: How to manage these refactoring issues when I imported the code into EA?

For example: I have a solution containing two libraries:

LibraryA contains class1
LibraryB contains class2

I imported the code and the model show two packages, one for each library, and each package containing their class. Now in VisualStudio I moved class1 to LibraryB.

When I press Ctrl-F12 on class1 I do not see any code associated with it. I tried to synchronize the root package which ideally should have moved Class1 to LibraryB, however this was not the case when I synchronized the package using reverse engineer (source -> model) using timestamps and include child packages.

I don't want to re-import the moved class since it causes problems with already created diagrams.

Summarized it are two questions:

• What is the prefered method of handling these refactoring actions
• How can I change the associated file location of a class.

Kind regards and thanks in advance for all help.
