General Board / Rotate Image Common Element

« on: September 05, 2024, 10:02:52 pm »

Hi,

I added one of the standard arrow images from the Common Elements > Image menu.  All the pre-loaded images (ex "arrow-blue-1") are pointing to the right.  Is there a way to flip or rotate this?

Thanks,
Carl

General Board / Template Binding and Interfaces

« on: July 24, 2023, 12:28:30 am »

Hi,

This might be a UML problem.

I was trying to bind a class that implemented an interface to a parameterized class.  I saw the interface selected when I went to bind, but not the implementation.

This is what I'm trying to do if everything were classes



I'd like to do this with a class that implements UserStorageProvider: RAMUserStorageProvider.  In EA, when I search for this, I see UserStorageProvider (the interface) but not the RAMUserStorageProvider which realizes UserStorageProvider.



I expected RAMUserStorageProvider to be eligible for the assignment but figure I might be misunderstanding something UML-wise.

Thanks,
Carl

I found it with the context search as described by qwerty.  I activated the toolbox and it's working.

General Board / Manifest Connector B/t Component and Artifact

« on: January 09, 2021, 08:21:41 am »

Hi,

I remember a << manifest >> connector but can't seem to find it now. I tried the quick link and the component toolbox.

Thanks,

General Board / Adding Tagged Values to Documetation

« on: December 25, 2020, 02:45:15 am »

Hi,

I'm generating a document with the Model Report template.  My Tagged Value shows up in the generated image, but not in the listing of the element.  Is there a way I can tweak this so that these items are included with the element? 

I verified that the Exclusion isn't check.

Thanks,
Carl

General Board / Re: Portals window is empty. Clicking Portals > Windows opens nothing

Do you see it as a closed tab in the upper right?  "Portals" is printed vertically?

General Board / UML Primitive Types in Stereotype

« on: December 21, 2020, 03:00:59 am »

Hi,

I'm creating a package profile and one of the stereotypes is using a tagged value "problemStatement" which is a hunk of text.  In the stereotype, I'm setting an attribute for the value, but am only able to specify the Java types (which don't include string).  Is there a way for me to select UML Primitive Types? I'm not trying to generate any code for this.

I set all the coding languages from Java to "none" that I could find on the packages and diagrams.

Thanks,
Carl

General Board / Re: Sparx EA - Dropped from latest EA Tool report from Gartner, Pity.....

« on: December 21, 2020, 02:49:37 am »

It seems punitive.  I think it's unfortunate.  American MBA's are conditioned to use this kind of report in making business decisions.

Gartner's always had a "niche" or "visionary" quadrant for smaller companies.

A truly independent study wouldn't require the vendor's participation.

General Board / Re: Difference between Properties and Attributes and Values in EA SysML

« on: December 10, 2020, 01:49:44 pm »

Drag a Property shape from the Toolbox onto your Block.  Name the Property the value name.  In the Properties panel, set the Type to your Value Type.  Remove the Property shape.  The Values compartment will appear.

It seems tedious to add an item only to remove a few clicks later.  I posted a question this afternoon to see if there were more efficient ways of adding Values.

General Board / Efficient Way To Add Values to SysML BDDs

« on: December 10, 2020, 02:04:11 am »

Hi,

I'm dragging Property shapes onto a Block, setting a Value Type, then removing the shape to get the Values Compartment.  Is there a more efficient workflow?  I'm looking for something like the Attributes panel.

Thanks,

General Board / Re: Making Stereotype Available To Class

« on: August 31, 2020, 10:17:20 pm »

This is working for me now.  They show up under All Perspectives.

It looks like my stereotypes didn't export correctly.  In the earlier screenshot you don't see an expand arrow with the UML profile.  When I re-exported this morning, the stereotypes "View" and "Component" were listed under VueJSStereotypes.

Hi,

I'm still not able to see the Perspective, Profile, or Stereotype to apply to my Class.  This screenshot shows how I created the Stereotypes.  I created a Profile Package, added a Metaclass, then extended two Stereotypes.  From the Resources section, you can see that I exported this package and import it.



However, I can't find this Stereotype to apply to a Class.  I've looked through the specialized, user, and built-in profiles.  I didn't see mine anywhere.

Thanks again,
Carl

Thanks for your help.

I exported it and then imported it from Configure > Resources > UML Profiles.  The Profile Package is listed under UML Profiles.  I still can't select it from any of the Perspectives including None.

I'm attempting to put a Stereotype on a Class.  The Stereotype is an extension of MetaClass / Class.

General Board / Making Stereotype Available To Class

« on: August 31, 2020, 12:27:22 am »

Hi,

I have a Profile Package with 2 Stereotypes extending MetaClass "Class".  What do I need to do to get these Stereotypes to show up in the Class Properties window?  I think I'm misunderstanding the relationship between Perspectives and Profiles.  When I select the Stereotype drop down, I see plenty of Perspectives, Profiles, and Stereotypes, but I don't see my Profile Package.

Thanks,
Carl

General Board / Generic Method Parameters

« on: May 08, 2020, 12:26:47 pm »

Hi,

How can I apply a generic to a method parameter?  I have a Template Parameter / Binding, but that doesn't show up in the Type dropdown when I define a method.

I'd like to capture a method like this where T is the Template Parameter and update() is a method in the same class.

    abstract public void update(T t);

Thanks,
Carl
