General Board / Re: Relative Hyperlink path

« on: June 02, 2006, 04:35:16 am »

Thanks for looking into this for me. The way I add the links are as follows:

In the Class model, I add a new diagram.  I right click on the diagram and insert the hyperlink. I browse to the file, it gives the absolute path (C:\My Projects\...\Sibling Folder\Test.doc).  The I chnage it to relative path ( ..\Sibling Folder\Test.doc) and give a alias.  Click OK to save it.

I have found that the hyperlinks sometime work and sometimes do not if I doubleclick on the links.  Looks like if I close my .eap file and then re-open it.  Most of time it works.  Very interesting.  I wonder why.

Thanks.

General Board / Relative Hyperlink path

« on: June 01, 2006, 11:46:01 am »

Hi, all

I place a hyperlink (to a Word doc) on my diagram.  When I browse to the file, it gives the relative path (C:\My Projects\...\Sibling Folder\Test.doc).  When I double-click on the link, it opens the file as expected. Since I have to place the entire design on a CD later on, I'd like to use the relative path ( ..\Sibling Folder\Test.doc).  When I double-click on the link, it seldomly opens the file, most of the time, it does not work.  I wonder what is the trick.

Is there any better way to achieve the relative path so that I can move the entire folder without relink?

Thanks.

General Board / MS Access Database schema Reverse Engineering

« on: June 01, 2006, 08:33:37 am »

Hi, all:

I am trying to import schema from ODBC to a MS Access 2000.  I have created DSN to the database with Microsoft Access(.mdb) driver selected.  When I clicked on Import, a dialog displayed all the tables in the database.  After Select All and OK, I got a error message stating I have unrecognized database.  Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

General Board / Generic questions from a newbie

« on: May 05, 2006, 10:16:49 am »

Hi, all:

I had EA6.1-781 version before and I just downloaded EA6.1-790.  I have a few basic questions.  If you can help, I really appreciate.

1.  The first difference is the Model Wizard on creating a new project.  The Project Browser view is different than before.  We do not have Logical View or Dynamics View any more.  Where should I put those dynamics diagrams, such as Sequence Diagram, nowadays. What is Domain Model?

2.   I have a relatively large project with mutiple applications (EXEs) and several engineers will work on this project.  After researching some of the documents, I think the best way to do project sharing is to use XMI import/Export.  However the EA only support XMI1.2, not XMI2.0.  If I only import/export out of EA, am I going to lose any info when I use XMI Import/Export? Is this the bad choice to use XMI import/Export for sharing?  Does anyone know if we are going to get XMI2.0 soon?

Thanks in advance.
