Bugs and Issues / Element-default color (EA9.x/EA10)

« on: September 08, 2014, 04:42:56 pm »

Hi all,

we have a central repository and people using EA 9.x as well as version 10 and above.

If someone using version 10 or above creates a new element from our UML profiles it looks okay in EA 10 but EA 9.x users will only see the element with the "default" colors and lack the color that has been defined in the UML profile. Once you manually re-color all the elements it works for those users as well.

Is there some backwards-compatibility option in EA10/11 to create the elements in order to not having them re-formatted after creating them? It's really kind of time-consuming if a lot of new elements are being created...

Regards
Andreas

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Calling Automation API from Windows Service

« on: August 25, 2011, 09:36:46 pm »

Hi everybody,

does anyone have a clue on how to implement an EA-API interaction (exporting diagrams) from a Windows Service.
Maybe someone already did something like this and can give me a hint.

Thanx in advance + regards

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Automation for UML profile import

« on: October 02, 2009, 11:30:46 pm »

Hello everybody,

I'm currently trying to use the EA automation interface to import XMIs (using ImportPackageXMI) and I wonder if I can automatically import UML profiles as well.

I can't seem to find any suitable method though...does anyone perhaps know how to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Automating project transfers (eap <-> DBMS)

« on: February 05, 2009, 03:47:18 am »

Hi,

is there a way to script the transfer of project-files from or to a DBMS via automation interface?

I cannot find any method that looks promising in the Automation docs.

We'd like to have a kind of database setup in advance and afterwards automatically transfer an existing EA-DB to another without having to do this manually via "Data Management -> Project Transfer".

Thx in advance for your help!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Object-coords on diagrams mapping to image-coo

« on: January 20, 2009, 09:36:53 pm »

Another - maybe stupid - question:

How are the sizes of the borders in the right lower corner of the image determined? Those are only added when the diagram has been scaled.

After experimenting quite a few days, I'm really stuck.

Is this the offset mentioned in your post? How is this offset calculated?

Thanks for your reply!

My problem is that if I got an object with the coordinates (17847, -7495,18459,-7707) then, according to your answer, this object will appear at (892, 374, 922, 385) on an exported .png image (assuming a scale factor of 5%).

But the object appears at (2606, 1097, 2695, 1127) so I think there must be some kind of further conversion/scaling going on?!  :-?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Object-coords on diagrams mapping to image-coords?

« on: January 09, 2009, 06:49:06 pm »

Hi, I'm currently trying to figure out how EA transformes the coords of objects on diagrams when exporting them to an image.

I already had a look at the table t_diagramobjects (RectTop, RectLeft, ...) but when the diagram is quite large these values don't seem to fit anymore. The given scale and cx,cy Parameters in t_diagram don't help me either.

Does anybody have a clue how to tell where an object will appear (X,Y) after converting the diagram that contains it to an image?

Background is that we've written our own HTML-Generator and want to include this neat feature of <AREA> Tags, as in the "Documentation->HTML Report" function.

Any help kindly appreciated
