General Board / How to Disable Stereotypes Globally EA 17.1

« Last post by Ryan Wilson on May 15, 2026, 11:34:15 pm »

Disabling Element Stereotypes for each diagram is getting tedious.
   Right-click on diagram background | Properties > select 'Elements'

How might I hide element stereotypes (also Namespace) for all new diagrams?

General Board / Re: Property Type via Script

Not sure if this applies to your case as well, but for attributes there are actually two field.
One field
t_Attribute.Type is the name of the type
t_Attribute.Classifier is the ID of the datatype for this attribute.

The standard dropdown (int, string, boolean) only sets the type field. If you use Select Type, the Classifier will be filled in (as well as the type field)

I figured it out. But weirdly I can't give it one of the types, that are shown in the drop-down menu of the type field in the property tab.
You have to set an existing element as the type.

General Board / Anyone working on the IATA AIDM (Prolaborate repository)?

« Last post by Richard Freggi on May 11, 2026, 08:17:42 pm »

Hello my company is investigating the IATA IADM airline reference data model.  We are members of the group and have just started looking at it; the model is a Sparx EA in a prolaborate repository and the instructions to access it are clear, except the link needed to obtain a user ID points to the wrong page.  So we have not been able to access it yet (emails sent to IATA).
I would be interested to know if any of us has experuence with this model, what value we can expect to derive from it, and any tips or recommendations on how to best leverage it!  Thank you,

Bugs and Issues / Attributes not displayed in same order i WebEA as in Sparx

« Last post by miksko on May 11, 2026, 06:00:38 pm »

A colleague has chosen to display the attributes of an element in a manually specified the order. That works fine in Sparx but when WebEA displays the same diagram, the attributes come in alphabetical order. Is this a glitch in WebEA or do we have to manipulate the server configuration for WebEA?

Bugs and Issues / Local letters don't come out the same in ProLaborate as in Sparx EA

« Last post by miksko on May 07, 2026, 06:21:37 pm »

We are running ProLaborate on a local ProCloud server and have an issue with the Swedish letters å, ä och ö. We know of other Swedish organisations who run on local hardware but don't get this problem.

The link below shows how å, ä och ö turn up in Sparx EA. The letters are rendered without any artifacts or issues.

When you watch the same text block through ProLaborate, å, ä och ö are all elevated (click link below). The text turns up the same if you check the diagram in WebEA, so my suspicion is that it has something to do with the configuration of the software which generates images of the diagrams.
