General Board / SVG export

« on: May 10, 2023, 07:20:36 pm »

How can I export a diagram as svg?

I tried the svg addin from here https://community.sparxsystems.com/community-resources/706-svg-diagram-export-add-in but the manage addin dialog shows SVGExport: Error - Missing (0x80040154)       (and I cannot find any menu option to export or save as svg.  I expected it at Publish-->Save-->Save to file as svg)

this addin is quite old, 2013.  I don't know how I should have installed it, I just ran the EASVGExportSetupV104.msi, is there any other setup?

Is there another way?

General Board / v15.1 Attributes dialog / docked pane

« on: November 10, 2020, 09:02:41 pm »

v15.1
Class diagram with one class, right click Features-->Attributes appeared to do nothing.  Then I realised it opened a pane a the bottom of the screen but it was very small - dragged up the separator so I could see it. 

In the title bar of the attributes pane there is an option to "float", I clicked it and the pane disappeared but did not float.  Now I can't find how to get attributes pane back - floating or docked - how do I restore it?

The help says to edit profile but I can't see the profile button?

Can't see it in "my center" either.

General Board / Re: State machine diagram - select internal transi

« on: March 07, 2014, 01:04:39 am »

Maybe there is something wrong with my diagram.  I tired as described and as before I got the state properties 6 times, the seventh attempt gave me the internal transition properties.

I tried a class diagram, it is much easier.  When I select a class operation I get a white highlight the size of the operation text, the state internal transition selection is a very thin white line above the text.

Don't think I can embed an imge?? Try the link -

Selected class operation / selected state internal transition image

Thanks

General Board / State machine diagram - select internal transition

« on: March 06, 2014, 11:12:50 pm »

I have a state on a state machine diagram with an internal transition.  In the help it says "To view or edit the properties of the internal Transition, double-click on the entry in the compartment within the State".

I find that there is a tiny hot spot that opens the internal transition properties, 99% of the time I get the owning state properties. Zooming in helps.  I find that if I single click on different parts of the internal transition until a white bar apears above it and then double click that point I get the most success.

Is there an alternative route to get to internal transition properties?
Thanks

Thank you.

Could you give me a link to the document that contains the quote?

General Board / State machine diagram triggers UML question

« on: March 05, 2014, 09:00:07 pm »

In the trigger properties I can define more than one trigger that is added to the trigger list. (EA 10)

For the trigger to assert, do all triggers have to fire (AND) or does just one in list need to fire (OR), or have I missed a means of definining some and/or logic to triggers?

Thanks for your help.

General Board / Re: UML statemachine, list triggers

« on: December 04, 2013, 09:36:47 pm »

Thanks for the suggestions.

For the SQL approach I'll have to get the book.  I think I need to know the EA object model (if thats what it is called) so I know how to reference my diagram in the project and what the triggers table is called?
Do I do something like this in an rtf template:
SELECT * FROM <triggers table> WHERE <triggerstable.referernce_to_my_diagram_in_project = the_diagram_I_am_intetrested_in>

--------------------------

For the Diagram->Show->List I see states but no triggers.  Am I missing an option to show triggers in the list?

General Board / UML statemachine, list triggers

« on: December 04, 2013, 04:03:40 am »

I'm a UML / EA novice.

I have created a statemachine and I want to find a way to list all of the triggers with guards and effects in a simple table of triggers.
(I want a check list of triggers that I have to create in my application.)

Is there a screen / subset of a property sheet for this somewhere?
I've searched but cannot find.
Thanks

Uml Process / Sequence diagram execution occurrence

« on: December 12, 2014, 06:48:13 am »

I'm learning UML / EA and struggling with execution occurrence - the vertical rectangle on the life line.

In the help http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/standard_uml_models/message_examples.html how do they set the length of the execution occurrence?  e.g. object 3 execution occurrence descends well below callback message, I can't make mine look like that.

Also what is the significance of the rectangle on rectangle notation shown on object 1 and 2 life lines and how do I make EA show this notation?

thanks
