Bugs and Issues / Cropped diagram images in the RTF

« Last post by Guillaume on August 30, 2025, 12:04:19 am »

Hi,

Is there a way or option to prevent the image of a diagram to be cropped so it's is fully visible and resized accordingly ?
Currently I have cropped images when I generate an RTF doc from a model.Note : I selected metafile as the format in the preferences.

Thanks,
Guillaume

« Last post by Guillaume on August 29, 2025, 11:53:24 pm »

Hi,

Working on an RTF template, I noticed a section called Relationship matrix but when I add it to my template, I can't find any option to select the Matrix profile.
Any idea ?

Thanks

Bugs and Issues / Re: Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.t_seclocks'

« Last post by steverumsby on August 29, 2025, 08:43:17 pm »

No, apart from acknowledging that the problem exists I've heard nothing else. It isn't the only problem I've reported that they don't seem to be making progress on fixing

At least this one doesn't appear to cause an issue and can safely be ignored. At least, I have been ignoring it for years without incident. Annoying though...

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Setting view specification as default diagram type

« Last post by Geert Bellekens on August 29, 2025, 05:07:16 pm »

I'm made a view specification extending the BPMN2.0::Business Process diagram.
(mainly because I can't make my own diagram type as the quicklinkers in the BPMN MDG technology limit the relations to the BPMN2.0::Business Process diagram)

I also have a business process block stereotype. I want this stereotype to be composite, and the default diagram toolbox on that diagram should be the one I defined in the view specification.

Unfortunately I cannot put the name of the view specification in the _defaultDiagramType field as that result in a simple UML Activity Diagram.

I can put BPMN2.0::Business Process in there, but then the toolbox contains all items instead of only the ones I specificed in the view specification.

Does anyone know a solution for this? For now I guess my workaround will be to add an EA-Matic script to automatically apply my view specification on new diagrams, if they are owned by my stereotype.

General Board / Deleting a discussion

Hi,

How do I delete a discussion? The docs say to right click on the discussion and choose 'Delete Selected" but no such menu item appears. I have full admin access over the model. Is there some other way?

General Board / Re: Not being able to type a FlowProperty with a Signal

« Last post by PDC on August 21, 2025, 05:30:55 pm »

In the properties window of the FlowProperty, under Type.

This worked in older EA Versions. I used it through Version 16. And I am pretty sure it worked in the release version of 17.

I was trying to model the signal flow in an IBD. And while creating the InterfaceBlocks I noticed this bug.
Based on the SysML specification: "A FlowProperty shall be typed by a ValueType, Block, or Signal."
Value Type and Block still works though.

Yeah you're doing everything that should work then I think, sounds like a genuine bug!

Just FYI,

With my free SysML add-in, we can create a FlowProperty with a Signal by dragging a Signal in the Browser onto an InterfaceBlock on a diagram. We do not need to have two (or more) steps to define an InterfaceBlock for a Signal.

Hi Tom,

Any reason why I can't find anything when I search for ChatGPT in the user guide?

General Board / Re: Backward and forward compatibility between versions of Sparx EA and PCS

« Last post by Modesto Vega on August 20, 2025, 06:11:01 pm »

In short, it is compatible but not supported.

The question here is, what does that mean?
How is "supported" different from "not supported"?

Geert

Exactly, and with 4 releases of Sparx EA since May 2025 and 2 of PCS, upgrades have become too frequent and bigger job.
