You should be able to.

Just copy your install directory to somewhere else before installing.  (At least it worked for me.)

The help file does not seem to be the new one :( It still has 4.51 in the heading and does not seem to describe any of the new functions...

 ??? A couple of things I need added in the reporting function.
1) The same fuctionality for generating a report on an element from the Project View as from a diagram.  I want to be able to select a single element in the Project View and generate a report without having to do a report on the entire package.  For example, I need a report on one table in the schema and not the entire database.  As it is now, I need a seperate package for each element just for reporting!
2) When generating a report on an element (either from a diagram - and hopefully from the Project View), the report need to include any child diagrams attached to the element.

As always, EA is a great product that just keeps getting better.  I've been trying to sell it to anyone who will listen.  Thanks

Tried to import EA DLLs in order to have the automation interface as a model. Unfortunately EA asks for some Visual Studio stuff which I don't have. Where can I get this, is it necessary and will I be able to reverse engineer (e.g.) EA's DLL ??? Questions, questions.... but no help :'(

Notwitshanding that Sparx recommend not using Beta5 for produciton models.  Can I still interchange (non critical) models between 4.51 and 5?

I appear to be able to use a 4.51 model with 5.

Can I create a model with 5 and use it with 4.51?

Thanx,

Yes you can: there has been no change in database structure.

Love the new baseline functionality!

Boy, could we have done with that a couple of projects back...

Anyone now if I can generate a difference report from here?  I can't find one for looking!

Bruce,

Try VM workstation if you are running out of machines....

$199 US gets you as many hot swappable machines as you need!

I have installed 5 on one of my virtual machines so as not to impact my 4.51 version and it runs great!

All developers should be issued with a licence of EA and VMWare!  Life would be much better!

(No, I don't work for either company!)

The importer has two means of extraction:
-  C# program that uses the .Net Reflection classes (the .Net runtime is required)
- Ildasm.exe, MS's disassembler packaged with the .Net SDK.

Installing the .Net runtime should correct your problem.

The dialog is currently being reworked so that users are advised of these requirements.

I'm responsible for the lack of help documentation (for this dialog) :-[ - sorry for the annoyance.  I'm currently adding it, and it will be present in the next update of the Beta.

If I use the Manage My  Profile link from the Start Page, the Custom Configuration is disabled.  Is that true for others?

Here is a new feature listed in the 5.0 release:

Quote
Added functionality to allow changeable colors for status types


Does anyone know how to make this work?  I've noticed I can now set the colors in the Status Types configuration screen.  I've also discovered that this same screen is where I specify which types of elements to apply the colors to.

But I tried checking the "Class" checkbox under the "Applies to..." button and it didn't seem to do anything.

What am I missing?  I am using version 5.00.762 (Build:762).
