Bugs and Issues / Re: Attributes not displayed in same order i WebEA as in Sparx

« on: May 18, 2026, 09:18:56 pm »

Hello... I think WebEA shows attributes in alphabetical order regardless of their position in Enterprise Architect.

If the display ordering is critical for stakeholders viewing the model, you can consider Prolaborate as it allows more granular adjustments to the properties - you can define how properties are grouped and displayed explicitly using configurable modeling language profiles. It is a small setup work up front, but it gives full control over what the stakeholders see.

Thanks

PCS General Board / Re: Use EA Legend auto color in Prolaborate?

« on: September 09, 2024, 07:16:17 pm »

Hello, This is a very good request. Unfortunately, it is not possible today. However, I will look into the possibilities of activating/deactivating a legend from Prolaborate itself for analysis.
For similar requests, you can directly write to [email protected]

BR,

The legend applied in EA will also appear in Prolaborate. Any changes to legend in EA will impact the diagram in Prolaborate.

I found the same issue, the recommended approach from an EA perspective is to use a dataType with the notes as Type=Date; This works find in EA, however it does not work in Prolaborate, the recommended approach is to use the EA legacy mechanism of creating a tagged value type with the same name as your tagged value and add Type=Date;
 to the detail of the tagged value. This off course means that you have to create lots of tagged value types - one for each unique tagged value name in your MDG.

Thank you for your request. The enhancement you requested will be delivered in Prolaborate 5.4. For more details on this topic, please send an email to [email protected].

General Board / Re: XMI export still has DELETED model elements

« on: August 06, 2020, 11:42:09 pm »

Creating a new file or multiple imports never help. You can do an integrity check proposed by Uffe. That should actually clears connectors which do not have source ID or Target ID means user delete source elements or target element . but I am not sure how it works for port you can give it a try. No Harm

General Board / Re: Import XPS or Visio into Sparx

« on: August 03, 2020, 07:05:20 pm »

Answering the original question. I remember we used to import vision diagrams using visio importer then run 2 or 3 scripts for each diagram to look formal. I do not remember how the duplicate objects are handled on import but you can write a script to handle this as well.

By looking at the XMI. I believe the content is still part of repository. You might have deleted from diagram which is diagram object. So if you traverse to diagram objects node you will not find it. As mentioned by Mr.Paolo

Thanks, Nabil

Yes, but it not a default feature of EA. Not sure is there an option in EA14.But still you can do it via an addin.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Scripts do not run - V15

« on: July 16, 2019, 05:46:13 pm »

Hi Peter,
I remember this was because of some installation where you both versions installed and the v15 is looking for scripting engine in v15. If you have 14 rename ea in program file as ea14 then install ea 15

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Stereotype: force default property page

« on: May 22, 2018, 07:56:34 pm »

On custom window Via Add-in  we can do that by enabling tabControl1.SelectedTab = MyTab; based on sterotype selection.

But in default window I doubt that

General Board / Re: Versioning of connectors

« on: May 17, 2018, 08:40:55 pm »

Of course, you can add a status tag, is that what you mean?

Yes I guess Nizam talks about adding a custom tag to connector. Also Diagram Legend can be used to highlight to color based on status

General Board / Re: How to hide {abstract} annotation?

« on: May 17, 2018, 06:53:35 pm »

 

«interface», you have the choice to either show the interface as lollipop, or in its rectangular shape including the «interface» keyword.

TO hide interface from an interface element right click on interface -> Advanced  -> Use Circle Notation can be used.
