Suggestions and Requests / Classifier Symbols: Hide All But Name Compartment

« on: March 26, 2009, 12:14:07 pm »

Hi,
UML classifier symbols (Class symbols etc) can consist of only the name compartment.  I find this very useful when I want to hide the detail during conceptual modelling and adding a class from an external package for example.

I would like to be able to hide  the extra compartment from class symbols that EA by default displays.

Refer to http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.2/Superstructure/PDF/
Figure 7.28 (pdf page 67) for examples of the class notation with only the name compartment.

General Board / Hide Attribute Compartments in Domain Model

« on: March 25, 2009, 10:56:28 am »

Hi

When constructing a domain model I prefer to hide attributes and operations.
Using Diagram -> Properties -> Elements -> Show Compartments and unchecked Attributes and Operations does not have any effect on classes in the diagram or new classes added to the diagram.

Is this the correct way to hide / show compartments.

Bugs and Issues / Linux: Wine or Code Weaver

« on: May 22, 2009, 11:12:40 am »

Hi,

I am seeking experience reports on using Wine or Code Weaver to run EA7.5 under Ubuntu 8.10.  

I had successfully installed the linux trial (EA7.1) with Wine but now that I have bought EA7.5 it freezes whenever I try to open a diagram.

So should I go to Code Weaver rather than Wine.

Bugs and Issues / Data Model : Show Attributes Only Error?

« on: May 22, 2009, 04:09:21 pm »

HI

Create a Data Model and a  table and some attributes.
Using Diagram | Properties | Features tab.
Show Attribute Detail set Name Only.

This leave the attributes showing the name plus the field length in brackets.

Eg
person_name: VARCHAR2(255) is displayed as
person_name(255)

I expect to see just
person_name

Should this be reported as system error?

Uml Process / Promote attribute to superclass

« on: June 05, 2009, 11:32:07 am »

Hi,

I could not see how to promote an attribute from a subclass to a superclass.  

During my conceptual modelling work this is a common scenario.

The reverse would be nice as well.  To demote from super to sub.

Are these operations supported in EA.  Using EA7.5

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Report Generator: Separator between elements

« on: July 17, 2009, 11:05:05 am »

Hi,

When constructing a report I would like to be able to have a separator character between repeated sections  eg in the report definition extract below the ',' character should be a separator rather then a termination symbol.  

parameter>
{MethParameter.Name} ,
< parameter

Any suggestions?
