General Board / Disable BPMN 2.0 validation rules

« on: November 11, 2015, 10:28:09 pm »

Hi

I'm creating a BPMN model and I want to draw a sequence flow that isn't BPMN 2.0 compliant. EA shows a message that this isn't a valid flow.

Is there a way to disable these validations? Sometimes I need to create a non-compliant design

General Board / EA books bundle

« on: April 29, 2014, 07:06:47 pm »

Hi qwerty!

I address this thread to qwerty, because I think he is the author of several EA books, so I think he can help me... (Tried PM, but didn't work)

I was wondering if there is a bundle with all your books (including the "Shape script made easy")? I can only find a bundle with the older books...

Maybe they just don't care that much about customer service

I emailed Sparx support last week, but I didn't received any answer. Maybe this answer has been lost too or they have some kind of technical error...

Thanks for your responses!

General Board / Forum issue: No emails

« on: October 09, 2013, 07:38:06 pm »

Hi

A couple of days ago, I requested a "forgot pasword" email as a test, but I never received one on my gmail. (I checked my spam and the mails aren't there either)

This was the same on my previous account. I forgot my pasword and never received a 'forgot pasword' email... So I had to create a new account. Sparx helpdesk never answered my email too (great job guys!).

Is this an issue on the forum?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / MDG: toolbox hidden submenu

« on: September 19, 2015, 03:18:11 am »

Hi

I have a problem with my MDG technology (made in EA with the MDG profile).

The structure of my toolbox
Elements
- Activity
- Start Event
- ...
Connectors
- Message
- Sequence

I have created everything like described in the user guide. Stereotypes for each 'page' : elements and connectors and an extra stereotype for the hidden page 'start event'. But when I "save package as UML profile", the 'start event' stereotype is not in the UML...

Code: [Select]

<UMLProfile profiletype="uml2">
      <Documentation id="00272BED-C" name="toolbox" version="1.0" notes="toolbox"/>
      <Content>
            <Stereotypes>
                  <Stereotype name="elements" notes="Selection of elements used at ****" cx="90" cy="70" bgcolor="-1" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="-1" hideicon="0">
                        <AppliesTo>
                              <Apply type="ToolboxPage"/>
                        </AppliesTo>
                        <TaggedValues>
                              <Tag name="BPMN::Activity(UML::Activity)" type="" description="" unit="" values="" default="Activity"/>
                              <Tag name="BPMN::StartEvent" type="" description="" unit="" values="" default="Start Event"/>
                        </TaggedValues>
                  </Stereotype>
                  <Stereotype name="BPMN connectors" notes="" cx="90" cy="70" bgcolor="-1" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="-1" hideicon="0">
                        <AppliesTo>
                              <Apply type="ToolboxPage"/>
                        </AppliesTo>
                        <TaggedValues>
                              <Tag name="BPMN::Message Flow(UML::ControlFlow)" type="" description="" unit="" values="" default="Message Flow"/>
                              <Tag name="BPMN::Sequence Flow(UML::ControlFlow)" type="" description="" unit="" values="" default="Sequence Flow"/>
                        </TaggedValues>
                  </Stereotype>
            </Stereotypes>
            <TaggedValueTypes/>
      </Content>
</UMLProfile>
Why are the "hiddenpage" stereotypes missing???

I use EA v11.1.1111

Thanks for the help!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / shape script: move text in shape

« on: April 28, 2014, 11:09:42 pm »

Hi,

When I print text in my shape at the bottom, the text is shown outside my shape. So I want to move the text up for a certain amount of pixels (or percentages). I experimented with the bottomAncorOffset, but it doesn't seem to work... (see code below).

Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to move text in a shape?

Code: [Select]

setfillcolor(255,104,32);
setpen(255,255,255,2);
defSize(350,180);
      
startpath();
moveto(100,50);
bezierto(100,86.2,87.6,100,55,100);
bezierto(23.8,100,10,87.6,10,50);
lineto(0,50);
lineto(17,0);
lineto(35,50);
lineto(25,50);
Arcto(25, 25, 85, 85, 25, 50, 85, 50);
lineto(100,50);
            
endpath();
            
fillandstrokepath();

addsubshape("nameBottom","S");

shape nameBottom
{
      bottomAnchorOffset = (0,-30);
      h_align = "center";
            
      Printwrapped("Bottom: #NAME#");
}


Thanks!

Thanks Simon!

This does the trick!

Code: [Select]

moveto(100,50);
bezierto(100,86.2,87.6,100,55,100);
bezierto(23.8,100,10,87.6,10,50);
lineto(0,50);
lineto(17,0);
lineto(35,50);
lineto(25,50);
Arcto(25, 25, 85, 85, 25, 50, 85, 50);
lineto(100,50);

Could you do me one favour, KP?

I want the same arrow, but with the arrow on the left and the curve on the bottom instead of on top. (so arrow will be pointing upwards)

I don't get the bezierto-logic, so I don't manage to make it myself...

Thanks!!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Shape script : curved arrow

« on: April 24, 2014, 12:42:51 am »

Hi

With the following code I can make a curved arrow if I do strokepath (outline are drawn correctly). The problems start when I want to fill this shape: at that point, extra lines are drawn to complete the arc)

Does anybody knows how I can draw a nicely filled curved arrow?

Thanks!

Code: [Select]

shape main{
      noshadow = "true";
      
      setfillcolor(255,0,0);
      
      startpath();
      
      Arc(0, 0, 90, 100, 100, 50, 0, 50);
      moveto(90,50);
      lineto(100,50);
      lineto(83,100);
      lineto(65,50);
      lineto(75,50);
      Arc(15, 15, 75, 75, 75, 50, 15, 50);
      moveto(15,50);
      lineto(0,50);
      
      endpath();
      
      fillandstrokepath();
}

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Shape script: text color

« on: April 23, 2014, 06:19:16 pm »

Allright thanks, it works for the color.

I've also changed the font size, but that doesn't work... Is there a setting on diagram / package / model level which overrides the font size on stereotype level?? Or is there another problem?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Shape script: text color

« on: April 23, 2014, 01:42:24 am »

Is it possible to change the text color of a shape script?

In the user guide they say "You cannot change the font size, type or color of this text." So is there another way to change this (I want to implement it in an MDG, so it has to be a configurable alternative, no manual workarounds).

Thanks!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / MDG: disable "show package content" for diagrams

« on: April 16, 2014, 12:43:04 am »

Hi

I'm making my own MDG. For certain diagrams, I don't want to show the elements' package content (when I drag and drop a package onto the diagram).

How can I make this a default property of my diagram (in my MDG). In the "Edit with Profile Helper" properties, there are a lot of properties but I can't find the "ShowPackageContents" property. (In the database, there is a separate column in t_diagram for this property : "ShowPackageContents").

Thanks!
