General Board / Shape Script- draw extended shape

« on: April 28, 2015, 08:21:36 pm »

Shape Script expert is needed!

I would like to set color to a non-UML element, via shape script.
The following code draws the shape of parent of the non-UML element. e.g. Activity shape for the ArchiMate Service element

Code: [Select]

setfillcolor(255, 87, 87);
drawnativeshape();

I would like the shape to remain Service shape, but colored.
Any help would be highly appreciated!

General Board / Add Legend to Profile

« on: April 26, 2015, 06:47:58 pm »

Hello,

I assemble my most useful elements to a profile.
I would like to add legend (from the Common toolset).
It does not appear in the list of meta classes available to extending.

Its type seems to be Text.

How should I do it?
Thanks!

How?

General Board / Extend Non-UML Types

« on: April 21, 2015, 09:01:38 pm »

Hello,

I would like to create a custom toolbox with whiteboard elements, such as simple circle, arrows, cloud, etc.
The challenge is not to assemble them to my custom toolbox, but to extend them first- in order to set default color and other properties.

What I tried:
1. I dragged a cloud element on a profile diagram, changed its stereotype to "metaclass".  
2. To this I added an extended element called "cloudExtensionTest".
3. I added a stereoype  to the toolbox page is MyToolbox::cloudExtensionTest(Whiteboard::Cloud).

Result:
A cloud element is added to toolbox with the appropriate icon, but cannot be dragged to diagram: simply nothing happens after the little "+" icon appears.

Any ideas?

General Board / Set Element Properties by Diagram Type

« on: April 21, 2015, 09:47:15 pm »

Can element color be changed depending on the diagram type?

I tried the "Template Package"-  I set red class on a Class diagram and a yellow one on a Component diagram.
In any case when I drag a class - even on a Component diagram, its color is red (and not yellow).

What is wrong?

General Board / Assemble built-in toolbox items

« on: April 12, 2015, 07:27:12 pm »

I would like to create a custom toolbox with useful elements for me.
The elements I use are all built-in, such as Archimate tools, SoaML and activity tools.

Is it possible to assemble them all to one toolbox?
When I create an MDG of a new tool set, I can only extend the common tools, such as class, component, package, etc. Where are the other elements?

Thanks in advance!

I test the Master-Slaves built-in deployment technology of EA.
Using the 'Synchronize Replica' menu options seems to sync the master with its slaves.

Is it possible to sync a slave with all of the other replicas and master? something like the 'Get Latest' option of version control?

Thanks.

I would like a scheduled task to execute EA application and access its repository.

The task does not depend on whether there are logged in users  or not. It should work in any case.

I can execute EA application but cannot connect to its repository.

Did someone encounter the Task Scheduler- EA issue and could share his experience?
