General Board / How to remove version control?

« on: June 19, 2008, 11:03:26 pm »

Hello,
We are using DBMS-based projects to work on a model competitively, and we use version control to track model changes. After having checked-in several model branches, it appears that we would like to remove version control for certain packages again in order to let more than one developer make changes on contained diagrams.
Generally, is there any way to remove version control from a package?
Regards,
Max

Bugs and Issues / Re: "Date and Time" in RTF Template is always actual?

« on: April 29, 2008, 12:47:13 am »

I found a work around:
To embed the creation date of a report (or probably any other type of MS word data field) as field into an RTF template, simply create the field outside EA in an external word document (.doc) via MS Word, mark the field there and copy it into the EA template editor. The editor realizes that it is a field and expands it according to MS Word's field definition:

Bugs and Issues / "Date and Time" in RTF Template is always actual?

« on: April 17, 2008, 11:34:55 pm »

Hello,

I have a question concerning the treatment of "Date and Time" fields in RTF Templates. Upon report generation, MS Word always treats these fields as actual date and time.
Is there a way to change the type of the date field to represent the generation date of the report instead? Or is there an other way to get the generation date into the template?

You can work around this by defining each object uniquely. EA allows you to define attributes for objects the same way as for classes, including the "default" value (That's what I'm actually doing).

However, as the instantiated objects do not know about their class then, there is no way to for example extend a class later with additional attributes which are in term reflected by the objects

Uml Process / Object Diagram - Create objects from classes

« on: October 09, 2008, 10:25:42 pm »

Hi,

I've modeled a bunch of classes in a class diagram, each class with a number of attributes. Now I want to create various object diagrams to model snapshots of the class instantiations and attribute values.

I can create objects from the object diagram toolbox and set the object's instance classifier to the corresponding class.

Now I can see the attributes of my object(s), but how can I apply object(say instance)-specific values to them? Whenever I access the attributes, it's always the attribute definition of the class, not the object.

Probably my approach is bad. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I managed to get the up-scaling done. I needed to switch the Diagram Format from "Metafile" to "Bitmap" on the Advanced tab of the Generate RTF Documentation dialog.
 

Best regards,

Thanks for this tip.

I played around with the various diagram scaling options, without effect. Guess it's as the help-topic "Scale image to page size" states: The image is not scaled up to fill the page, but it is scaled down if it exceeds the current page boundary.

So no chance to enlarge an image as whole. But maybe: Is there a way to increase the font size in RTF generated images?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / How to change RTF report generated diagrams scale?

« on: March 14, 2008, 04:49:27 am »

Hi,

I'm using the basic requirements template that ships with EA to generate an RTF report for my requirement diagrams. However, the generated diagram pictures are not scaled/enlarged to fit the available page size. They appear "too small".
I suppose it's only a switch I have to set to get the scaling done. But where can I find it?
