General Board / Limiting TOC Heading Level Output
« on: July 28, 2014, 01:19:30 am »
When creating Generated Reports, the TOC creates an entry for every paragraph of style Heading x. Is there a way to limit the Headings that are used for creating the TOC, to say, Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3.

General Board / Changes in CallBehavior Notation
« on: February 10, 2007, 09:14:26 am »
Version 6.5.802

In previous versions, when you changed the name of a CallBehavior Action, the Action element would appear like this:

_________________________
My Action Description
Object::Operation
_________________________

This allowed natural language descriptions for actions, in addition to presenting the actual method call.

In this version (802), when you change the name of the Action, the operation is no longer appended to the Object Name in the second line:

_________________________
My Action Description
Object::
_________________________


Is there a setting for this?
Is it intended behavior?
Why did it change?

BTW, the security key posted on the private page worked.

The text in Step 2 in the below graphic is ambiguous regarding which key is required.

General Board / Cannot Enable Security- Corporate Edition
« on: February 08, 2007, 10:13:02 am »
I am running 6.5.802 Corporate (As reported by the About Dialog), and have moved my model to a SQL Server.

I would like to enable security, but I am prompted by the 'Enter Authorization Key' dialog.

When I enter my key and click Ok, nothing happens. According the help documentation, this is the same key used to install EA.

Is there another key I should look for? Am I missing something?

That did it. Thanks.

General Board / Synching from DB rearranges diagram
« on: January 25, 2007, 08:30:29 am »
I don't know if this is new in 802 (I skipped a few builds), or if I didn't notice it before, but synching from database objects causes the elements on the diagram to rearrange.

I use a different tool to generate my DB, but I like the EA diagrams. Is there a way to synch the model without rearranging the elements on the diagrams?

Bugs and Issues / Re: Missing Start Page Features, v12

Thanks!

Bugs and Issues / Missing Start Page Features, v12
« on: October 08, 2015, 10:56:30 am »
In their zeal to 'simplify' the Start Page, Sparx seems to have removed, or hidden well, many features that I use regularly.

The ability to manage server connections, view connection strings, add servers via connection string, and remove server connections from the start page is gone or well hidden.

Can the old start page be invoked, or these deprecated functions restored?

Bugs and Issues / Re: Normal Style in Linked Documents reverts to Ar
« on: August 08, 2014, 07:22:37 am »
The workaround I settled on is to apply a stylesheet after the document is generated.

Bugs and Issues / Normal Style in Linked Documents reverts to Arial
« on: July 28, 2014, 12:55:57 am »
When I try to set the Normal style in Linked Documents to something other than Arial 10, either via in-doc style editing or importing from normal.rtf, the style setting is not retained.

The presentation of Normal text in the document is rendered according to my style selections, but the underlying style definition remains unchanged.

This can be tested by closing and reopening the document, then updating text to Normal style, and Arial 10 is applied. Also, and more frustratingly  >:(, Arial 10 is used to render the linked document text in Generated Reports. I could live with the Arial 10 if it retained my paragraph spacing, but it does not.

I have rehashed this problem by resetting my normal.rtf, and doing things slightly differently as one does when trying to track down an abnormality, and this problem persists regardless of my approach.

Such as I feared. Thanks.

I have copied the level numbers to a tagged value  in the past, I suppose that will remain the path forward.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Level Numbering in SQL Queries
« on: August 08, 2014, 07:46:22 am »
Level Numbering values are not stored in t_object, or other table (that I could find).

Is there a way to calculate Level Numbering when querying the database directly? t_object.ParentID is easy enough to find, but I cannot find anything that suggests tree sequence or level.

t_object.TPos is populated only sporadically, and only when a tree sequence has been user-adjusted.

15
Not that I've found, and there is no official solution:

"This option is only available for packages, and the numbering only applies to the elements in the package, not diagrams."
