IIRC, Paolo dealt with a similar issue, and he plastered the original icon with some rectangle (though the color at the border won't match exactly due to the gradient of the base color).

As q says, we had to turn off gradient fill otherwise, it looked "wrong".  Some might say "gradient fill" is an affectation, and we really haven't missed it.

So you can't report a bug since you found "something" and nothing documented. You probably have to burry your hope. Send a feature request and be very patient.

General Board / Re: No subfolders displayed at MDG Technology on Resources tab

Hm, I think I found the answer by myself. Thought the 15.1 helptext says that subfolders are shown, the release notes of build 1554 (= 15.2) have: "The MDG Technologies group now shows all System, Model, User and Add-in technologies and allows expansion to show the contents of each technology."

Here's the link to 15.2 Special Attributes: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.2/modeling/supportedattributes_2.html
There is no mention of _alias although it does do something.

General Board / No subfolders displayed at MDG Technology on Resources tab
« Last post by Jacob Vos on March 31, 2023, 11:56:50 pm »
I am using EA 15.1, build 1526. On the Resources tab, in the MDG Technologies group, I imported an MDG. However I only see a collapsed folder. I cannot expand the MDG technology to see its contents.

The help text says: "If you have any MDG Technologies in the folder, each has its own subfolder containing the Profiles, Patterns and code modules used in the Technology."

Any idea why this is not working for me?

Its strange but redefining the decoration does not seem to prevent the original decoration from being rendered. This means I can still see the original decoration underneath.

I guess you'll have to redefine the decorations as well in your shapescript. See https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Shapescript-Library/tree/master/Archimate3 for the original Archimate shapescript.

General Board / Re: Using ChatGPT to create EA Scripts
« Last post by Arquesoft (Mauricio Moya) on March 31, 2023, 02:58:50 am »
As I see it, there are two scenarios where ChatGPT can be used. One is for generating scripts, which effectively have many flaws, but it is possible to ask ChatGPT to correct them as they arise.

The other scenario is for generating SQL that can be used in SQL searches or in TimeSeriesCharts, ModelViews, or Simple Charts.

In any case, although the generation is not perfect, it allows a novice user to get an idea of how to proceed and try to make manual changes or ask ChatGPT to correct it until they get the perfect result. I think the goal in scripting should not be the generation of a complete script, but rather the creation of methods that can then be assembled to follow a general logic. In other words, we should ask ChatGPT prompts like "create a method that receives an ElementID and does X or Y".
