General Board / Re: Bulk Insert to component Attributes
« on: February 04, 2023, 07:22:20 am »
Hi!

You could Use CSV export(Import thomake that bulk changes in EA.

At the moment to create the specification, include the GUID, stereotype, type and all those tags which are important.
Please read this article https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.1/model_exchange/csvimportexport.html

i'll hope that could works.

General Board / Re: Where can I find project templates
« on: February 04, 2023, 07:18:40 am »
Hi,

In addition of above, you could create a "New Model from Pattern" with Crtl+mays+N or , In the browser, click on the package Icon with the yellow star.
It'll appears a window with diagrams, models, and others patterns.

I'll hope it could works

Hi!

Yes, it´s possible, first of all, you have to open the diagram and follow those steps:

Design|Diagram|Manage|Set as my default

I hope that could works.

Hi

I agree with Greet, in addition, I suggest to create a MDG technology to customize those icons with a bmp image which modify the sterrotype. Please consult this article and the video below.

General Board / Re: Shared project in a team - better strategies
« on: February 04, 2023, 06:32:45 am »
Hi,

I agree, its necessary to get the repository in a common database by a cloud connection. Also you can build an own strategy to colaborate in EA.

Is desirable if you could use EA 16.1, because there are develops in those functionalities.

I hope that works, don't doubt in contact me if you need some help.

I agree with Geert, the better way to create relationships without creating a diagram is with a relationship matrix.

Look the user manual https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.1/the_application_desktop/elementrelationshipmatrix.html

I hope that could works!

General Board / Re: Best method to differentiate between AS-IS and TO-BE
« on: February 04, 2023, 05:58:38 am »
Hi,

Our Strategy in Andes Architecture is adding a Tag Value called "phase", even using the propierty "phase" to clasify elements and diagrams.

This allow us to perform dynamic filters and clasify easily all the things in the repository. Also, is easier to upload information with a CSV.

Remeber TOGAF framework, is desirable to have an Enterprise Continnum which organice all your elements in packages respect to the phase too. This estrategy could be complemented using baselines.

General Board / Re: "No Embedded Elements" when Drag&Dropping Elements
« on: September 29, 2022, 03:54:06 am »
Hi,

Every element is unique and independent of another elements, although you see all them as only one in another diagrams. In another words, you see "DiagnosisOut" with its components as only one, but really, there is a relationship among DiagnosisOut and another elements.

What I'd do to see what you wanna see in a new diagram,  I'd use the element to keep trazability and  create a son diagram from the element which drive to the new one, and chage the element view.

I hope it could work.

General Board / Re: Documenting Receptions in EA
« on: September 20, 2022, 11:10:35 pm »
Hi Imilojevic,

You should create a Model Document, calling the tags or properties needed using an EA Document template as a base.

Please watch this video with the new V16 functionality to create a new template: https://sparxsystems.com/products/ea/16.0/videos/custom_documents.mp4

After that, read this article: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/model_publishing/createadocumentobject.html

If you need help, don't doubt to contact me.

Hi Yonatan!
You could "Extend UML", create a diagram and publish that diagram as a UML Profile.
This UML profile works as a MDG, which has its own Toolbox.
Look the EA 14 Guide User and look for those step by step and realize that!.

« on: September 16, 2022, 02:21:40 am »
Hi Michel!
There is an Example Model which you can look and have an idea to build new models.
To access you have to:
In "Start window", on "Help" ribbon, click on "Help" /blue book), select "Open an example model".

It charges and select "Enterprise Architecture" and browse in those models.

General Board / Re: Importing Attributes using Microsoft Excel
« on: September 16, 2022, 02:02:08 am »
Hi! The best way to import information from Microsoft Excel is doing a CSV.

1. Build a CSV Specification selecting existing tags (Name, notes, GUID, type, stereotype, etc) and new tags (another atributes)
2. Export that empty CSV, paste the information from excel
3. Import the full CSV, that gonna create new elements with those charateristics.

Read this article for more information:

General Board / Re: Extracting descriptions and comments from Sparx EA
« on: September 14, 2022, 07:14:45 am »
Hi!

Yeah, Geert is right, a way is with CSV export, please read this article to do it: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/model_exchange/csvimportexport.html

Another way could be exporting to XMI: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/model_exchange/exporttoxmi.html

Or publishing as a XML:
Publish>Model Exchange>Publish As>Choose the correct model language.

I hope that could works!

General Board / Re: How to export all the Interface elements from the EA
« on: September 14, 2022, 06:45:21 am »
Hi David! ;D

To export that list, you can export the package where are the elements (Components and Interfaces) as a CSV, please review this article: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/model_exchange/csvimportexport.html

Keep in mind that to export this CSV, you have to build a CSV specification which is constituided by elements propierties and tags, but relationships aren't exported. So for export that expecific information, you can create customized tag values for each element where you can match among them , for example.

In Components :
1. Required: Select the Interface required of the Component.
2. Provided: Select the Interface provided for the Component.

In Interfaces:
1. Required by: Select the component that requires that interface
2. Provided by: Select the component that provided that interface

You must follow this article to create the Tag values which lets you match elements, using RefGUID tag value:
https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/modeling_frameworks/predefinedtaggedvaluetypes.html#:~:text=multiple%20progress%20bars.-,RefGUID,-Type%3DRefGUID%3B

When you create those tag values and fill it, you'll build the specification. There, you have to select the basic propierties of the elements like:
- Name
- Type
- GUID
- Tag values
- Version
- Status
- Alias

Each propierty is a column of your table and each element is a row.

If you need some help, don't hesitate in contact me!
