Suggestions and Requests / Rich text editting for Descriptions

« on: February 15, 2005, 10:35:08 am »

Is is possible let us create description in rich text?

Also would be usefull if I can just contol font in text boxed even for the whole application. The font is just too small to work for a long time. I don't want to change setting for whole machine just to work with one application.
Thanks

Suggestions and Requests / UI changes

« on: February 14, 2005, 11:52:30 am »

I'd like to see some UI changes.

1. I'd like to see property separate from methods. I work with VS.NET - I don't look on properties like methods (not any more)
2. Is it possible to give options to show public, private... methods differently then just +,-. Again idea comes from VS.NET

3. Is it possible to hide group of members (attributes, operations, properties) with one click and not with context menu).

I understand that these features are not UML but it would make work for some of us much nicer.
Thanks

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Request: Undo/Redo enhance!

« on: March 10, 2004, 06:28:25 pm »

Just want to warn everybody with this request.
I see a big reason for EA lacking of this feature - it is build on Jet engine that is database and usually what ever was deleted from database it is gone. If you want to have undo/redo feature you should look into file based software like Visio. Just warning - for big  (I mean just a little bigger ) projects those programs are slow. I think that performance gain that EA has over other programs, I worked with, is on expense of this feature (undo/redo).I vote for performance.
Of cause if they can manage to get both would be great.

I also have problem with using custom stereotypes.
I just created <<Risk>> used Comment as base. Now I don't see my risk and can't find comment.
Where did I miss something?
Thanks, Shimon

General Board / Re: Package Visiabilty

Well what happened there was kind of too many top level user casses so I decided to group them. I used packages to group them. So the main top level UC diagram has in the end few packges instead of 20 UCs. Each package has its own UC diagram.
I think this make sense.

But... is there a way to change the visibility of elements on the package picture.
Thanks

I have UC diagram with some packages on it. Packages have UCs in them. I can see UCs on the package and this is fine. But I have UC analysis that have activity elements. The problem is that they also show up in the package picture. I don't want that. I tried to go
Element Features > Specify Feature Visibility and played around with "Hide Stereotyped Features" field.
Didn't get any noticable results.

What should I do to solve my problem.
Thanks,

General Board / Shortcut from object to class

« on: July 27, 2004, 04:17:34 pm »

I have sequence diagram with some object on this. If I select the object and click to view methods EA shows me empty list. The class for this object has methods.
Is there a fast way to find class of the object straight
from the diagram?
Thanks,

Uml Process / Attributes in .NET

« on: February 21, 2005, 02:23:35 pm »

Is there a way to mark method with some tag that would be appear as attribute in code.
Is there any way to use "something" that would be used as [Attribute] (in C#) in code?

Thanks,
Shimon.

Uml Process / Modeling HTTP messages

« on: February 17, 2005, 06:17:12 am »

I am working with some specification that use HTTP request as base and requere some fields or specify that some fields are optional.
How can I show it in UML?
I need
1) show that Header must be before body
2) show which fields are requered and with are optional
3) he order of the fields is optional but there is some preferences. Can I show it?

Thank you,
Shimon.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Experience with MDG link

« on: July 20, 2004, 12:04:33 pm »

I really hope that this is just a beginning. It seems to me that the add-in just provides more convenient way for forward and reverse engineering. Even though the Add-in helps a lot, to call it VS.NET integration is a little too much. Those who experience with VS.NET expect much more from the words "integrated with VS ".
Now, the process of merging drives me a little nuts.
1) The merge dialog just shows new classes in EA and VS but doesn't show classes that have been changed. There is no way to say there should we expect changes on method and variable level (and of cause you can't control that)
2) Deleting and renaming operations/attributes in VS and EA. Try it out once (and don't do it again). You will see that after merging you get two functions old and new in case of renaming and in case of deleting it comes right back (sorry)

So I really hope that this is only a beginning.
Just curious what EA's plans for it.
