Suggestions and Requests / Re: Requirements Import

« on: October 30, 2010, 12:41:42 pm »

I tried the evaluation version of MDG Link for DOORS and don’t see how it can import traceability information into the EA model. The help file only mentions EA’s own Requirements Management. Is there a way to import  DOORS requirements among with traceability links either with the MDG Link or via a script utilizing the EA API?

Also, I successfully imported requirements from DOORS into a new EA model and can see them in the Project Browser but none of them appear in the Element List window. Is that normal?

Suggestions and Requests / Multiple nested diagrams

« on: September 14, 2007, 06:29:48 pm »

I have a complex package that is better to be represented by a number of component diagrams. If I create a component diagram, put a new package called “LargePackage” on it and double click on the package a new nested component diagram is created. Then I draw some lower level components on the nested diagram. After that, I add one more component diagram to the LargePackage from the Project browser and draw other components of the LargePackage there.
Now, if I return back to the first component diagram and double click on the LargePackage, the last created nested component diagram will be opened. Is there a way to see a list of all nested component diagrams instead?

Suggestions and Requests / C++ typedefs

« on: March 01, 2006, 05:28:24 pm »

When EA reverse engineers the following code into a class diagram it would put two classes A and B without any association links
class A {};
typedef A AA[5];
class B
{
  AA a;
} ;
This is a quite typical example. It is unfortunate that apparent associations are automatically added to a class diagram. Is there a way to fix this?

EA 6.1.787, ANSI C++

General Board / Source code window

« on: March 24, 2014, 03:59:32 pm »

I believe it used to be a nice source code window in EA, I think it was a docked one. Whenever I clicked on a class or a function on a UML diagram, that window showed code for that class or the function. I can’t find this window in the new versions. There is a menu Tools->Open Source Code which opens a relatively simple text editor and its contents doesn't appear to be synchronized with mouse clicks on a diagram.
Was that wonderful source code window removed from EA, or it’s hidden somewhere in deep menu hierarchy?

Very likely, BCGControlBar C++/MFC library is used in the GUI part.

I noted that if I do a right click on a diagram then all menu stop working.

Bugs and Issues / Using different versions of EA

« on: July 01, 2010, 10:44:28 am »

I noted that EAP file saved on a computer with Enterprise Architect 7.5 can be opened on another computer with EA 6.5. The diagrams will be correctly shown but background color in all boxes, e.g. classes, becomes white. EA 7.5 fills boxes with gradient color and while 6.5 uses one color but I would expect the boxes to be painted with the default yellow-ish color rather that white. Is there a trick to make all boxes yellow in 6.5?
