lollipop notation for interface
« on: September 23, 2012, 12:45:55 am »
Hello,
I'm a novice with EA and I would to know how can I do to draw an interface between two components using a lollipop notation instead the box notation, like that at the pag. 1025 of the EA User Guide.

I'm also trying to draw lollipop interfaces in a Archimate diagram, but I can't do this again.

Who can help me, please?

Thanks

Select the component, right click and select 'Embedded Elements'. Choose either 'Add Provided/Required Interface' depending on the kind you need. A dialog will popup to choose an interface from your model.

You can also connect 2 components using an Assembly connector, that'll show a connector having a lollipop/plug pair in it's middle.

Another idea is to right-click an interface element and select "Use Circle Notation" (it may be on the "Advanced" sub-menu). For Archimate interfaces, I think the equivalent is to un-select "Use Rectangle Notation".
