Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / importing csv import/export specifications

« on: August 10, 2017, 04:13:27 am »

In some previous version I was able to export some csv import/export specifications, but I can't find the way to import them into a different project or even how to export them again.  Is there a way to do this still?  A set of standard CSV Import/Export specifications would be a nice addition to the MDG I'm working on.

Thanks!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / mdg references different between api and reg ui

« on: April 26, 2017, 05:17:22 am »

I have found that if I include an mdg profile I can use the new stereotypes, etc in the normal client immediately, but if I want to use that new mdg profile with an api call, I have to restart my computer.  Would there be a reason for this?

Thanks!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Synchronizing diagram types

« on: March 28, 2017, 05:24:37 am »

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to synchronize existing diagrams with an updated custom diagram type similar to how stereotypes can be synchronized?  I changed toolbox configurations in my mdg/profiles.  New diagrams show the new toolbox configurations, but the old diagrams don't.  Is there way to make my old diagrams show the new toolboxes?

Thanks!

Bugs and Issues / Loading EA

« on: March 16, 2017, 05:08:13 am »

My EA is loading very slowly, taking sometimes at least 15 minutes to load.  It seems to be trying to communicate with Outlook and getting to stuck. I just uninstalled and reinstalled and am still having this issue.

Thanks!

Uml Process / Re: sysml v1.3 flow properties in custom toolboxes

« on: August 16, 2014, 12:48:21 am »

Thanks! It worked!

Follow up:  I have specialized the sysml interface block into a new stereotype.  Unfortunately, it doesn't get that nice display of its flow properties.  Is that a special shape script just assigned to Interface Block or is there a way to get my specialized stereotype to have that behavior besides writing my own shape script?

Thanks again!

Uml Process / sysml v1.3 flow properties in custom toolboxes

« on: August 15, 2014, 02:02:26 am »

I have been trying to add a flow property to a custom toolbox, but the line:

SysML1.3::FlowProperty(UML:Property) = Flow Property

in a tool box page extension doesn't work.  Instead of a property icon in the toolbox with the caption Flow Property, I get a stereotype icon.  Also, nothing happens when I try to create one from the toolbox.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / creating a new model based on an mdg through API

« on: December 05, 2014, 07:16:18 am »

How would I use the API to create a new model based on a Package Structure stored in a MDG Technology?

I see the repository object's CreateModel method, but CreateType is 0 for the standard EA Base model and 1 to create through an SQL connection.

If just create a base EA Model, I'm not seeing another method that creates root based on a package structure in an MDG Technology.Do I use CustomCommand("Repository", "ImportRefData", <xml>)?

Thanks!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Creating and saving partitions through the API

« on: November 13, 2014, 04:28:29 am »

I am having trouble creating and saving partitions through the API.  I have a some code that is not generating errors but no partition is present when I open the project in EA.  I'm assuming I'm not saving the partition or owning collection or element right.

The code:

Code: [Select]

                   Set partPartition = elmTempElement.Partitions.AddNew("New Partition", "Partition")
                    elmTempElement.Partitions.Refresh
                    elmTempElement.Update

The typical algorithm requires the update method of the new element to be called, but I don't think there is an update method for a partition class.

What am I doing wrong?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Adding SysML Value Properties through the API

« on: November 06, 2014, 05:02:06 am »

UML::Part didn't work, but "Part" by itself worked.

I want to define a stereotype in my custom profile that is created as an extension of part.  However, I don't see "Part" in the metaclass list. It isn't even listed as a stereotype in the SysML 1.3 MDG.  Do I make my stereotype an extension of "Object"?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Adding SysML Value Properties through the API

« on: November 04, 2014, 08:45:30 am »

Using the API, I am able to add all sorts of things to my SysML blocks except for Value Properties.

I see in the reference model in the help that you can't add Custom Properties to elements.  But when I read my value properties from the api, they are listed in the elements and embedded elements collections of the block, not the Properties or Custom Properties collections.

Is there also a restriction on not adding SysML Properties as elements?  Or is there a different object type besides "UML::Property" to use in the AddNew method?

Thanks!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / How to delete an Element using the API?

« on: November 01, 2014, 06:30:58 am »

What is the proper method to delete an Element using the API? I know the ID of the Element I wish to delete.

Am I supposed to delete the element via its parent's Elements collection's DeleteAt method?  If so, then I would have to loop through that collection to find the right index.  Surely there is a more direct way.
