Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: _tagGroupings Ignored in EA 16.1 Technology Stereotype

« on: February 21, 2026, 02:26:54 am »

Ok, using the helper, my tagged values are now grouped correctly, but my stereotype has to extend a metaclass of type Class.

If the stereotype generalizes another stereotype, then grouping is not possible.

With this setup, I cannot drop the element as a child of a SysML1.4::Block, because the element is no longer a Property like SysML1.4::FlowProperty.

I don’t know how to make the element a Property again

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / _tagGroupings Ignored in EA 16.1 Technology Stereotype

« on: February 21, 2026, 01:46:01 am »

Hi,

In my MDG Technology, I created a stereotype SignalSpecification with a generalization to SysML1.4::FlowProperty in EA 16.1. I added several tagged values:

• Physical (Type: QuantityKind, enumeration)
  Unit (Type: SI_Unit, enumeration)
  MaxValue (Type: int)
  MinValue (Type: int)
  Accuracy (Type: int)
  Resolution (Type: int)
  …

I also added _tagGroupings (Type: <none>, Initial Value):

Code: [Select]

Unit=PhysicalAttributes;Physical=PhysicalAttributes;MaxValue=SignalProperties;MinValue=SignalProperties;Accuracy=SignalProperties;Resolution=SignalProperties;
Following the Sparx example: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/17.1/modeling_frameworks/define_tag_groupings.html

After regenerating the Technology, the tagged values appear, but the grouping is ignored.

Question: How can tagged values be properly grouped in a Technology stereotype in EA 16.1?

General Board / Re: How to create a relationship between a "signal" and a transition (StateMachine)

« on: May 26, 2023, 06:10:22 pm »

yes. ok lets say the condition is, when the signal is bigger than a treshhold. i have to model the threshold as an element also.
in this case how to create a linik (relationship) between this elements and the condition (Guard)?

General Board / How to create a relationship between a "signal" and a transition (StateMachine)

« on: May 26, 2023, 05:24:04 pm »

In a state machine i'm using to describe the transition some signal names to describe the guard.
The signals are already in the model defined with an element of type "Signal".
Is there any way to create using SysML or UML a relationship between?
Because in my model the signal are defined, but they doesn't have a relationship link

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Name of the action not always at the same place

« on: March 14, 2023, 11:51:07 pm »

ok. I add an element (Action Call Behaviout) from the SysML Toolbox and the name was on the top, then I change the stereotype of the element and the name go to the middle. Here is the Shape Script (I put some ... to make shorteer the text:

Code: [Select]

shape main
{
noshadow = "true";
if (HasTag("ElementType","Mechanical"))
{
setfillcolor(210,108,30);
}
...
else if (HasTag("ElementType","Mechatronical"))
{
setfillcolor(255,228,188);
}
DrawNativeShape();
}

decoration Type
{
orientation = "SW";
if (HasTag("showElementType","true"))
{
if (HasTag("isSignal","true"))
{
println("Sig");
}
...
else if (HasTag("ElementType","Mechatronical"))
{
println("Mea");
}
}
}

decoration SIL
{
orientation = "NW";
if (HasTag("showSafetyIntegrity","true"))
{
if (HasTag("SafetyIntegrity","None"))
{
// hide label
HideLabel("");
}
else
{
// Not applicable
if (HasTag("SafetyIntegrity","Not applicable"))
{
setfillcolor(255, 255, 255);
print("Na");
RoundRect(0,0,100,100,4,4);
}
....
}
}
}

shape RelatedElement
{
if(HasProperty("Connector.Type", "Realisation"))
{
if(HasProperty("Element.IsTarget"))
{
SetCompartmentName("ExternalRequirements");
AppendCompartmentText("Req #Element.Name#");
}
}
if(HasProperty("Connector.Type", "Dependency"))
{
if(HasProperty("Element.IsSource"))
{
SetCompartmentName("DerivedRequirements");
AppendCompartmentText("Req #Element.Name#");
}
}
if(HasProperty("Connector.Type", "Abstraction"))
{
if(HasProperty("Element.IsTarget"))
{
SetCompartmentName("AllocatedTo");
AppendCompartmentText("#Element.Name#");
}
}
}
I don't have any control for the text

I though also this point, but both element have the same stereotype -> same shape script

do you know how to control this in the shape script?

« on: March 14, 2023, 03:24:31 am »

why the name of the action is in the middle of the element and not in the top?
I use the same stereotype twice, but the position of the name is ddifferent. how can I control this?

Hi, when I insert an ActivitParameter in my model it will created with the attribute (parameter) Type: Integer.

I would like to create en extended stereotype of the ActivityParameter with the default type: none

I don't find this option in the manual. it is possible to make this change? with the profile helper?

Thank you! the order of the stereotypes didn't work, but the z-order yes! :-)

I created my own technology extending UML and SysML and I have defined various Diagrams. This is working fine.

When I use the tecnology during modelling and i want to add a diagram, i get the list of possible diagrams. The list of diagrams is sorted randomly, how can i do in my own technology to get the desired order for the diagrams?

Thank you Guys! Now it is clear for me.
I tested again the old technology and it is not taking over the tagged values. I don't know where i saw this effect

« on: January 25, 2023, 12:48:28 am »

thanks eve, but it is not clear for me.
I defined both stereotypes as Abstract but with the spezialization is not clear what do you mean. I defined an enumeration and i used the same enumeration in both stereotypes. in Profile Helper, under "Tagged Values" i added in both the same enumaration.

another picutre of the properties of the instanz:

https://github.com/RealPecho/MDG/blob/main/properties_instanz.png

the instanz is relationed with the parental, but the attributes are not taken over.

Maybe this is not right, but it was working in the old technology and we need unfortunately in this way to avoid a mismatch

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Own MDG using Diagram Frame similar to SysML or State Machine

« on: January 24, 2023, 11:59:42 pm »

I did in this way, but it is not  really the same.

If I add a diagram to the model, i have to go in this way througt the SysML perspective and choose for example InternalBlock. But we change the names of the diagrams to get more specific description.

But I think, there is no another way to do this
