Full/Proxy Ports on IBDs
« on: April 23, 2019, 06:46:37 pm »
Hi,

Perhaps I am missing something as I am new to EA but:

In the toolbox for a SysML BDD I see Port but also Proxy Port and Full Port - looks good.
But in the toolbox for an IBD I only see 'normal' ports, no Proxy nor Full - but an IBD is the most likely place I am going to be adding ports isn't it?
To make things worse, 'Synchronize Structural Elements' on the IBD does not synchronize full or proxy ports.
Further, if I try dragging a full or proxy port from the project browser onto the appropriate block on the IBD I then get a full copy of the block type on my diagram - not what I need.
The only mechanism I have found that seems to work is:
  • Create the full/proxy port in the project browser by right clicking and selecting 'add',
  • Then go to the IBD,
  • Find the block that the new port is on
  • Right click and select 'Features' and then 'Features & Properties'
  • Select the 'Interaction Points' tab, find my new port and click its selection box

So: what am I missing or is this really the only way to get full and proxy ports onto an IBD?
