Creating New Toolboxes and associated Icons

[Ravi]

Is it possible to create New Toolboxes and associated Icons in Sparx EA? Example: I want to create a set of different types of sensors.

Thanks!

Yes.  You create a MDG with your own diagram and associated toolboxes.

Hi Karma, Can you provide me with a link to the location in the Sparx EA help module that will provide me with a couple of examples. Thanks!

Actually, that was Glassboy. 'Karma' is the number of merit or demerit points that each contributor has accrued.

As for information, start here:

Thanks Roy (Glassboy) for that link with examples to create Toolboxes. I guess you are being a "Goodboy" accumulating "good karma"!

Not exactly. 'Glassboy' is a user over in New Zealand. He is the 'Good Boy' accumulating karma. He must be following the example set by his Prime Minister.

I am a user in Australia who isn't really accumulating karma. Probably because I am also one of those devilish Sparx Employees too.  Or perhaps because my revolving door Prime Ministers don't set any good examples to follow.

Two different people.

We probably have the worst PM in our history, but I agree better than Aussie PMs.

Really? Oh dear. And first item on my list for Santa was to combine the Eastern and Western islands and make Jacinta Ahern our PM too. NOW what do we do? Ummm - Mr Trudeau....?

Trudeau's popularity is currently bombing, as is Macron's.  It's the problem with style of substance and implementing regressive taxes.  What we really need to do is follow the system from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy where you elect someone who couldn't possible rule in a big publicised election while all the real decision are made by a simple man isolated from the media :-)

I've wondered a few times whether sortition is worth a try ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

The problem with that method of jury selection is that it does not work well where specialist knowledge is needed for decision making.
