Suggestions and Requests / Change a component to a component package

« on: May 31, 2012, 08:28:47 pm »

I posed a question in the general board asking if there was an easy way of changing a component to a component package. Not available as element->advanced->change type. Suggested I could put forward as an enhancement.

For me this would have been useful rather than creating a new component package and migrating infomation across and updating diagrams.

General Board / Re: Convert Component into Packaging Component

Thanks for the constructive replies. I ended up doing the job manually by creating new packaging components - it didn't take too long in the end but I may consider submitting an enhancment request.

General Board / Convert Component into Packaging Component

« on: May 29, 2012, 07:05:32 pm »

I have a number of components I would like to convert to "packaging Components". Is there a quick way of doing this or do I need to do it the long way - deleting and recreating?

Thank you Graham (and Phil).
I did search the forum but obviously had wrong criteria.

General Board / Inserting Tag Values into Document Generation

« on: March 02, 2012, 03:29:29 am »

(RESOLVED)

I am creating a document template in which I want to display a specific tag value. When I right click I get insert filed and under that is "names", "note" and "value". If I use "value" I get all the tags in the generated document. Below is the data in the template.

{ElemExtRequirement.Name}
{ElemExtRequirement.Stereotype}
tagged value >
{ElementTagVal.Value}
< tagged value

What I want to do is only incorporate a single tag.

Any ideas?

General Board / New Requirement Stereotype

« on: February 16, 2012, 03:54:29 am »

I have created a new requirement category stereotype "Hardware" and I want it to appear in the drop down list. I have added it to the "UML Types" sterotype list and assigned it to a "applies to" a Requirement. How do I make it appear in the list?

General Board / Portable App

« on: April 08, 2011, 12:06:23 am »

Would it be possible to have EA as a PortableApp (I guess U3 is dying)?
Not sure from a licensing perspective if it would be legal but rather than keep installing and uninstalling EA on PCs as one moves around machines it might be nice just to push a stick in a USB and to pull it out when finished leaving the machine as it was.
I did a web search that proclaimed to have EA as a PortableApp but none of the links were "live"

General Board / Re: Associating activities with partitions

« on: March 08, 2011, 11:36:29 pm »

Yes I've seen the "nesting" which is what I want. However if you are modelling use cases using activity diagrams then you are likely to want to use the same partitions across many diagrams. It seems logical (to me anyway) that you may want to analyse the use of these partitions eg which use cases are the applicable to. Anyway - thanks for your advice.

General Board / Associating activities with partitions

« on: March 08, 2011, 10:30:08 pm »

I've looked at swimlanes but they just seem to be a region on a diagram and have no entry in the dictionary.
What I want to do is to have a pool of partitions that I can have in a package and then drag them onto activity digarms in other packages. I've suceeded in doing this but then I drag activities (instantiations) into these partitions but there is no visible association between the activity and partition. In the long term what I want to do is to be able to query "give me all the activities associated with a partition across the whole model" Anyone else tried to do this and had any success? I know if the partition is in the samepackage as the activity the association is made but dragging a partition into a diagram from another package (simple link or instantiation) does not even show up in the target package.
