Hello Robert,

EA can make skeletal code from class diagram, but can't
make from Sequence/Collabration diagram.

EA can also synchronize source codes and class diagrams.
Please try using free evaluation version.

General Board / Re: How to split sequence diagram

Hello mfris,

I'm afraid if the following way goes well or not, but
there is a way using XMI file.

First, export the diagram into XMI file. XMI is XML text file, so
you can modify with your text editor.

Copy the XMI file, and delete some sequences of each file.
And import the file.

I think it depends on how to edit the file, so please try.

Hello,

I think it's a better way to define GOODS_DLL_EXPORT as 'MACRO'.

you can use macro menu from 'reference'.

General Board / Re: Sharing project by separate teams - howto?

« on: January 24, 2003, 11:29:29 pm »

Hello Piotr,

I think the procedure you wrote is correct.
As Ilja said, I recommend you to use Controlled Packages.

If you use Controlled Packages, every team sends the only differences to all other teams.So, you don't need hub-team.

And if you use Contorolled Packages, you can use CVS or another source controll software(ex.VSS). If you use it, every team only checks-in the differences.(needless to send by mail)

Hello  pjachowi,

My simple answer is 'yes, you should send periodically.'.

Usual way of using replica is as follows:
1. make design master from .eap file
2. make replicas from the design master.
3. distribute them to each teams
4. periodically, each replica synchronizes with desing master
5. return to No.2

If you use replicas, you send all the project file to every team.
If you want to avoid this, please use XMI import/export and Contolled packages.

Hello Joe,

About your first question, EA has a way to add header.
Please read help file:
Code Engineering->Generate Source Code->The Code Generation Dialog

Please try to use two editbox (Import/Header)

About second question, I think EA can also do it.
Help file near above section tell you how to do.

I'm afraid there is no way about third question.
Please tell me if there is a way.

Hello Tjerk,

About 'Common type', it's type which corresponds to above 'Data type' field.

For example, please check C++ language type.The common type of 'int' is 'Integer', and so on.

Hello vitthal,

You can do it by using XMI file.
1. export your model to XMI file
  (by Unisys/Rose format)
2. import it to Rational Rose
  (You may need XMI Add-in, distributed in Rational web site.)

The detail about 1., please read help file.

General Board / Re: Some question about EA

« on: January 05, 2003, 05:11:31 am »

Now I reply No.2 and No.7:

About No.2,

You can customize buttons of every toolbars(but there are few limitation), and key-binding for every function(menu).

About No.7,

Now EA provides Microsoft ActiveX COM API for EA repository. But current version has only reading functions.

So you can read EA elements by using Microsoft VisualBasic, VisualC++, and so on.

General Board / Re: Expand selected Elements

« on: December 20, 2002, 03:13:38 am »

Hi gunnar,

I understand what you want to do, but as I know, EA has no function like that.

How to do like that, I think, as follows (not automatically):

1. select target element
2. show link property (property workspace is very useful)
3. at every linked item, "locate in project browser(explorer)", and drag into the diagram.

It's 1 level, but maybe I'll go mad if I do for 'n levels'...

General Board / Re: printing html documentation

« on: December 17, 2002, 11:17:14 pm »

Hi Carol,

I think it's not best answer, but please try using NetscapeNavigator(7.0) or Opera(6).
Both browsers have a function to change printing zoom rate.
Especially, Navigator 7.0 has a function to fit the paper size automatically.

I hope this helps you.
