Bugs and Issues / Generator crashes EA after 2 goes

« on: June 05, 2008, 01:42:31 am »

Hi,

I am using EA 7.1 and created my own document template.  The first time I run the generator, it produces the document correctly.  If I then press the generate button again it crashes EA.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before and any clues, I have sent the error report off the first time it happened but would appreciate any advice on how to get round this now.

Thanks

Hi,

Is there anyway of calling the diagram layout menu function from the Java API?

Thanks

Hi,

I just cannot seem to find the method to delete a diagram using the Java API, tried destroy() but seems to have no effect!

Can anybody point me in the right direction

Hi Guys,

The clone is at a package level, I wanted to clone at an element level, is CloneNode the correct method to use?

Hi Helmut,

Thanks for the reply.

However, I am trying to do this automatically via the Java API rather than manually as you propose.

Apologies for not making that aspect of my question clearer

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Cloning of an element

« on: July 10, 2014, 07:13:00 pm »

Hi,

I have a hierarchical model

A->B->C

For business reasons we are creating two models

Model 1 : A->B

Model 2 : B->C

within the same project and the models are created automatically by parsing a CSV file.

I now need to have the B's in the model not to share the same element ID but have separate ones, hence when I create a model 2 element B, I think I need to make a clone of the Model 1:B rather than link to it or is there an easier way.

Is there any easy way to do this as it appears there is no cloning method on the Element class

Thanks

Would be a useful feature as it would mean the look and feel of the menu is the same.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Importing profile picking up other XML file

« on: July 03, 2014, 07:00:14 pm »

Hi,

I have released my profile to some of my colleagues and one of them who imported the XML file into their temp directory (loads of other stuff in there) when adding the profile had an error message appear that seems to relate an XML file for another application he uses.  It wasn't a fatal error as the adding the profile worked but just wondering how it might be picking up some other file.

BTW When he created a new directory and put the file in there, it worked without hitch.

Just wondering hwo this couldhappen

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Quick Linker Menu Group

« on: July 02, 2014, 10:37:03 pm »

Hi,

I am creating a quick linker file for my profile and am trying to get it so that I create a menu group called MG with 2 sub-menu items X and Y.

The MG is created correctly and there are 2 sub-menu items created but the labels for these are blank!

Which column in the quicker linker definition file fdo you put the sub-menu item name or does it inherit from one of the other columns.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, I think much of the problem with the quick linker I have had is that it appears you have to restart EA to get the changes in your quick linker artifact to take place, its not just a question of rebuilding the profile.

Is that correct or is there a way around this?

Thanks guys, nearly there

Last issue is the link being created does not seem to be being set to my stereotype which I thought column K would do, is there some other column that I need to populate?

Fiddly I agree but now I have discovered it, looks incredibly useful.
