Bugs and Issues / Stereotype images in imported profile not shown

« on: June 18, 2009, 06:03:01 pm »

Hi,
I have created a UML profile in EA, and saved it from the profile diagram, leaving all the "include" boxes checked, and selecting the UML 2 option.
Several stereotypes have a custom alternate image, that is shown correctly in the diagram.
Then I import the profile in EA, leaving all the checkbox selected, and start a new diagram with the profile elements; unfortunately, the image is the standard image for the classifiers (packages and classes in my case), and I didn't find a way to select the stereotype image.

Any hint?

Uml Process / Can I model an Event as instance of a class?

« on: November 23, 2005, 10:10:16 am »

I am  modeling a part of our business using Eriksson Penker Business Extensions.

In a view of my model, I create a class diagram with the "Business Events Model", where each kind of business event is modeled with a "Class".

Instances of those events are input events in an Activity diagram, associated with a "flow" to processes.

I would like to keep the relationship from the instance (event) to the class (Class stereotyped as <<Business Event>>), but I am not able to do so in EA.

Any hint?

Thanks,

massimo

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Including external files in generated RT documents

« on: December 04, 2010, 01:47:05 am »

Hi,

the old versions of EA allowed to insert an RTF command in the 'notes' field of a diagram or an element like this:

Code: [Select]

{\field{\*\fldinst
{\insrsid12075035 INCLUDETEXT
"M:\\\\MyDir\\\\MySubdir\\\\DocumentName.rtf"
\\c MSRTF }}
}This method allowed to obtain an rtf document where the referenced external file was seamlessly included (see my article at: http://www.mcoletti.net/how-to/ea-rtf-en.html).

Later, EA introduced formatting capabilities in the note field of elements. This was a good improvement, but it made the above trick inefficient.
Is there another way to obtain in the generated RTF document an include instruction that brings in another rtf document?
Thanks,

Massimo

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / exportin search results to Excel?

« on: July 28, 2009, 07:34:28 pm »

Hi,

I have created some quite complex searches on my EA model, and I have the need to export the results on a spreadsheet, in order to provide my team with some useful work lists. Until now, I select all the elements in the search results, copy/paste in excel, its allright.
But if I have the need to add the notes of the selected elements, there is a problem, because I can display the full notes in the results list, but they are not copied.
Any plan to build some handy export-to-excel functionality?  [smiley=cool.gif]

Regards,

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Reverse engineering XSD

« on: August 12, 2005, 02:34:34 am »

I have the need to create an UML model representing an XML Schema defined through an XSD file.

I think that an XSL transformation from the XSD to an XMI model, could help in the reverse-engineering process.

Did anyone find this problem interesting or is aware of already developed tools?

Regards,

Massimo

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Getting anonymous attributes generating XML Schema

« on: August 11, 2005, 07:31:10 am »

Hi,

while generating an XSD from a package, the attributes withing a class are rendered as <element> withing the Complex Type definition, but without name (the attributes are named in the UML diagram).

I have created a new project, imported XSD datatypes and then XML profile.

I have created a package, dragging the XSDSchema stereotype, then created only a class within it. The class has two attributes, xs:string.

The elements for the attributes have the correct types, but no name.

Any hint about what went wrong?

(EA 5.0 build 567)

There is a small how-to explaining how to include external Word documents, in the generated RTF documentation, without manual operations.

For anyone interested:
