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.

Hello Geert

Do you know where now this option is hidden because on v.17.1 it does not appears on Layout/Diagram/Manage menu...

Thank you.

Bugs and Issues / v17.1 copy diagram to clipboard bug (cropped image)

« Last post by Guillaume on May 06, 2026, 10:17:35 pm »

Using the latest EA17.1 build 1716, I noticed an annoying bug when I try to copy a diagram image to a word or powerpoint (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V). The resulting image is cropped i.e. it doesn't match entirely the source diagram.
It seems to mainly happens when I use 2 screens.
As a workaround, I have to publish the diagram to a file.

Is this a known issue ?

General Board / Re: Property Type via Script

« Last post by Geert Bellekens on May 05, 2026, 06:58:32 pm »

It is definitely possible.

The easiest way to find out what is happening exactly, is to check what EA sends to the database.

If you have an MS SQL Server, you can use SQL Profiler. Other databases likely have a similar tool.

In case you don't have a tool like that, I would start comparing before and after a change, and see what happens.
I'm pretty sure it will either be in t_object, t_xref or maybe t_objectproperties(tagged values).
Once you know where it is stored in the database, it's usually pretty easy to figure out what field in the API you need.

Bugs and Issues / Package.ApplyUserLock toggles in v17

« Last post by Geert Bellekens on May 05, 2026, 06:30:12 pm »

I found a bug in version 17.1.1716

When a script call Package.ApplyUserLock twice, the package ends up unlocked.
This was not the case in version 15.

Steps to reproduce:

Execute the following script:

 dim package as EA.Package
set package = Repository.GetPackageByGuid("{004FDF92-DB9B-47b7-B5B1-2CE63056D724}")
package.ApplyUserLock
msgbox "User lock applied"
package.ApplyUserLock
msgbox "User lock applied again"

In version 15 the end state is that the package is locked.
In version 17 the end state is that the package is unlocked.

General Board / Property Type via Script

« Last post by EAButNotForGames on May 05, 2026, 05:18:12 pm »

Does anybody know if it is possible to fill the Type field of a property element in its Property Tab via a script.
I can read it through PropertyTypeName, but I can't find a way to edit it.
I want to automatically generate Properties via a Script and define their Type (and maybe even the Initial Value) on specific conditions.

I can't even find that Type field of that property in the sql tables.

Bugs and Issues / Re: Child diagram does not show Activity Diagram Frame

« Last post by PeterHeintz on May 04, 2026, 10:03:57 pm »

You wnat to have a SysML activity diagram, right?
Unfortunatally EA creates a UML activity diagram under an SysML activity.
To fix that, select the diagram in the project browser, do to Design/Diagram/Options and selcet “Change Type…” to change the type to an SysML activity diagram.
