Suggestions and Requests / Re: Preprocessor macros for C missing?!?

« on: November 27, 2012, 12:59:44 pm »

If they're shared from the definitions for C++ everything will be fine.

Didn't check that so far, just stumbled over the drop down, that only offers C++. It should display better 'C/C++' then.

Best regards,

Suggestions and Requests / Preprocessor macros for C missing?!?

« on: November 27, 2012, 11:46:24 am »

Wouldn't it make sense to provide preprocessor macro setting also for C language?

There are surely a lot of compiler implementation or framework specific definitions, that should be ignored when C code is imported/synchronized.

Opinions anyone?

Best reagards,

Suggestions and Requests / Enable per class 'Advanced' settings for Code Eng.

« on: November 23, 2012, 07:18:27 am »

Hi,

I've recently sent a bug report to Sparx that the 'Advanced' settings set with the 'Generate Code' command for a selected (Class) element doesn't change anything for this particular element's generated code (I was particularly referring the 'C-Language->Object Oriented Support' option).
Their answer was that this behavior is intended and this(those) option(s) won't be considered on class level.

Well the options sections are titled 'Options for the current model/user', though your value changes will be saved and recalled on class level. I find this behavior pretty misleading, either changing such settings should be disabled or not accepted to be saved (at class level).

Most of those options I would find pretty useful to be configured on class level anyways.

Thoughts, experiences or workarounds anyone?

Regards,
Günther

Suggestions and Requests / C OOP support option

« on: November 16, 2012, 05:44:58 am »

The C OOP support option should be revealed on package level, e.g. as a special tagged value supported by standard C code generation/reverse engineering features.

The current project global option gives conflicts with imported legacy C code.

Anyone else an opinion about this?

Suggestions and Requests / Provide a reverse engineering/code synch interface

« on: October 31, 2012, 07:13:30 am »

I'd like to propose that EA should provide an interface for reverse engineering and synchronizing code for custom defined (code generation) languages. At least I couldn't work out so far, how this could be done using the existing AddIn events.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Suggestion : Protocol Message Designer

« on: August 24, 2012, 05:06:38 am »

You can easily achieve s.th. like this by defining an appropriate UML profile and transformation or code generation templates.
I did so successfully for the http://code.google.com/p/protobuf protocol language (which in turn provides code generation for several progamming languages with it's own compiler).

This feature doesn't need to be implemented into the UML tool natively.

Best regards,
Günther

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Show relationships only of a certain type

« on: April 19, 2012, 04:29:41 am »

Simply right click on the newly created connector and select 'Visibility->Hide Connector in Other Diagrams'. That should do what you want.
Might be nice to have this as a general option either diagram or link based though. Couldn't find one with a quick lookup ...

Suggestions and Requests / Feature to add custom compartments for non native

« on: March 31, 2012, 12:56:42 am »

It would be nice to have a feature to add custom compartments to non native drawn shapes, e.g using a special sub shape script.

Suggestions and Requests / Feature to add icons in custom compartments

« on: March 31, 2012, 12:53:30 am »

I like the new custom compartment feature for shape scripts, now its possible to list your child elements in the main shape.
It would be nice though to have a drawing method feature to add an icon/decoration to appear in the beginning of each child element text line.
Such you could achieve an appearance similar as in native package shapes.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Resizable dialogues

« on: November 10, 2009, 06:30:13 am »

Hi skiwi,

I guess that you, very probably, want to have the textbox labeled 'Output to File' to resize with the dialog (following the right edge in LTR mode).
Lets gather some more general rules:

Dialogues containing

• multi column list controls
  
• rich text edit controls
• text boxes (that contain lenghty text, e.g. filenames)
  

Does Sparx Systems have UI-design guys employed? May be they should join the discussion?

Thank's for [size=16]BUMPING[/size][/b]!
What could be the best verbalization for submitting a feature request to EA, without having to priorize each dialogue in particular?
For now I see the following general rules:

Dialogues containing

• multi column list controls
• rich text edit conrols

More ?
