Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / DeleteLinkedDocument() has no effect

« on: August 21, 2024, 01:25:08 am »

I didn't manage to get rid of an elements' linked document using EA.Element.DeleteLinkedDocument()

Can please somebody confirm that it's not an issue inbetween my left an right ear?

Bugs and Issues / Unexpected Event EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified

« on: August 14, 2024, 07:52:08 pm »

Changing a class' operation (aka otMethod) using the operation properties dialog (F10) leads to 2 events, one for otMethod and a second one for otElement.
In contrast, changing via features dialog or properties window only produces 1 event for otMethod.
In contrast, changing class' attributes produce just one event for otAttribute, independently of the dialog/window used.

Should there be an additional event on otElement in general or just one for attribute/method ?

(Don't know, if its a new one. I'm on EA 16.1.1628)

Bugs and Issues / Locking/unlocking sets element modification date

« on: August 07, 2024, 08:19:19 pm »

From an authors or readers perspective the modification date is vital to track element modifications vs. time.
From an authors or readers perspective applying/releasing locks doesn't change elements, so why is the modification date set to now?

What a mess if you do it recursively on your model!

So my question is: Is this a bug, a weird feature or might it be turned off?

(I'm currently using EA 16.1)

Bugs and Issues / RTF report filter / Query Builder data type mismatch in criteria expression

« on: November 03, 2016, 09:14:29 pm »

Hi,

I get an error

DAO.Database [3464] Data type mismatch in criteria expression

when setting up an element filter on RTF template document options to render
- only elements having tests of testclass one of 1,2,3,4,5
- and only element test of  testclass one of 1,2,3,4,5
(otherway : want to exclude elements without tests or testclass = 6)

Setting up a filter criteria on t_objecttests.testclass is not working,
- neither from Document Options->Element Filters
- nor from Document Options->Other Filters
- nor from Find in Project->Query Builder

None of the operators EqualTo, Not Equals, One Of can be used, no chance for the user to input the correct type to avoid the problem!

The error persists in EA 12.0.1212, 12.1.1229, 13.0.1306
Its a very frustrating one as it prevents us from running test reports!

Any help on this is welcome to get around this.

Cheers,

Bugs and Issues / Selecting a template from within the document template editor

« on: March 17, 2016, 12:05:15 am »

Hi,

today I upgraded from EA 12.1.1215 to latest 12.1.1229

Selecting a template from within the document template editor results in an empty page, the editor headline and tab bears a garbled/truncated template name.

Starting template editing from the resources view or the document generation dialog still works.

General Board / diagram appearance on different screens

« on: September 05, 2007, 12:27:09 am »

All,

my team is working on different computer having screen resolutions that vary from 85 to 150 ppi.
If a diagram in the model is created on a 85 ppi screen, the diagramm elements will overlap on 150 ppi.

Obviously EA uses fonts with real sizes (x pts) for text elements, but stores all other primitives in pixel ordinates.

Is there a way to make diagrams look the same on different computers?

Regards,
Jens

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Couldn't override default toolboxes

« on: November 17, 2015, 02:43:34 am »

Help!

overriding the default UML::Activity toolbox with an MDG Techn. does not work as stated in the documentation. (RedefinedToolbox=UML::Activity ....)

The toolbox shows up on a custom diagram type, if a diagram profile is incorporated.

What am I missing!??
