Suggestions and Requests / Status Field for diagrams

« on: February 25, 2010, 06:31:01 am »

All elements have a status field ... diagrams don't. I would also like to have a status field for diagrams as well to support our quality/review process.

Suggestions and Requests / TemplateBinding

« on: August 09, 2007, 09:35:22 am »

In one of my current projects I deal with a lot of parameterised classes. It would be a big benefit to have a real support for the binding of template arguments in EA. Are there any plans to integrate this soon?

General Board / EA 8 to 9 compatibility?

« on: March 08, 2011, 10:28:25 pm »

Is there any information available if EA 8 and 9 are compatible in the sense that both versions can be used on the same repository (e.g. eap file) in parallel?

General Board / Parallel usage of EA 7.5 and 8 on a eap repository

« on: April 16, 2010, 04:32:03 am »

At work we have a bunch of models and quite a large EA user base. Is it possible to use EA7.5 and EA 8 in parallel on the same model? We actually work with replicas ...

General Board / Embed Diagrams in Powerpoint

« on: April 15, 2010, 05:15:16 am »

I'm doing some education sessions and I would like to use as much models in it as possible. There is however a certain amount of educational content which I would rather like to maintain on slides. Currently I'm switching between powerpoint and EA which is not ideal. Initially we copied the diagrams over - which is boring and error prone. I would prefer to embed the diagrams in the powerpoint presentation and update the embeded objects before giving the course.

I have tried doing this by creating an both HTML and RTF reports and then embeding the diagrams from the reports in the powerpoint slides. Whenever I regenerate these documents using the latest model the links in the embedded objects break ...

Is something like this possible?

General Board / Outer Class ?

« on: February 07, 2010, 02:58:40 am »

I try to generate some statements in the dot language used by GraphViz. I have a bunch of nested classes (classes with inner classes) - in other words a tree.

A
    B
    C

I need to transform this to

A -> B
A -> C

I have seen that I can check if a class is nested with %classIsNested%. But I don't know how to get the name of the outer class.

Any suggestion how to do this?

Thanks
Christian

General Board / Default size of diagrams in RTF documents ...

The diagrams are always scaled to use the full page width when I generate RTF documents. Is there an option to specify a default size?

General Board / operation signature

« on: August 27, 2009, 05:24:55 am »

Hi

EA uses for paramter direction
- * on diagrams
- [out] .., [inout] in the editor dialog for operations

The * looks definitive wrong to me - it would be used to indicate multiplicities which is not supported by EA. Is there a way to have the standard representation in diagrams?

General Board / Working with profiles

« on: June 24, 2009, 05:18:04 am »

Is there a good way to replace a stereotype in a large model. It has currently a bad name we want to improve.  What is the best way to do this?

Is there a way to find 'orphan' stereotypes? This are stereotypes which are not based on a profile (anymore)?

General Board / XMI import/export to RSM

« on: June 24, 2009, 04:18:36 am »

I'm looking for some guidance regarding model imports and exports between RSM and EA.  Is there somewhere an overview of things which work and don't work? Especially the way towards RSM seems not to work well ....

General Board / Multiplicity specification for operation parameter

« on: May 22, 2009, 07:18:09 pm »

How can I specify the multiplicity of parameters in operations?

A parameter is according to the UML superstructure a MultiplityELement. A MultiplityElements has the following attributes:

• isOrdered
• isUnique
• / lower       --> lower bound of the multiplicity
• / upper      --> upper bound of the multiplicity interval

It seems to me that all these attributes cannot be specified for operation parameters.

General Board / Create a diagram with the result of a search ....

« on: May 21, 2009, 03:33:03 am »

I would like to create a few diagrams showing specific views on a big model using the result of a search (find in project). Somehow I can't figure out how or if this works.  
Or is there a nice alternative?

Can somebody help?

General Board / Component Instances and Interfaces

« on: March 15, 2007, 12:51:54 pm »

Hi

Let's assume I have a component 'MPEG Decoder' which provides an interface 'Analog-Out'.

I want now to specify two new components which both have the MPEG decoder as a subcomponent and provide the interface 'Analog-Out' too - a DVD Player and a DVD Reorder.

I embed a MPEG decoder instance in the DVD Player and DVD Recorder components. They show up without an interface ....

I would now like to show the wiring of the Analog-Out interface of the respective MPEG decoder instance in the DVD Recoder and in the DVD Player.

How do I get a the Analog-Out interface of the  MPEG decoder instances?
Is this the wrong approach? What is the correct approach?

General Board / Binding of parameterised classes

« on: February 25, 2007, 03:58:37 am »

  The EA user guide defines how template classes are defined.

I'm looking for advise how to visualize the binding - I don't see the values for the template patameters. Who has a hint?

Bugs and Issues / Bug EA 9 - generating multiple RTF reports fails

« on: March 23, 2011, 03:09:27 am »

Seems that there is no option to report a EA 9 Beta bug directly ... versions stop with EA 8  

If I select RTF Documents under Resources and the try to generate all or many reports together (Generate Documents ..., Generate All Documents ...) then the path and file name are not considered for the output (generates to .RTF).  Selecting single documents and then selecting auto generation shows the same failure.  If I use 'Generate Document' then the correct path and filename shows up.
