gsn mdg file
« on: June 01, 2020, 09:39:39 pm »
Hi
I am trying to import the MDG file from here https://community.sparxsystems.com/community-resources/893-mdg-technology-for-gsn-goal-structure-notation
I downloaded the file and try to import by Specialise->Publish->Import MDG and select the file
I receive no errors but I cannot see any options to create GSN diagrams

Do I need to do anything else?

Thanks

Sunshine

I tried downloading it and storing in my file location for all MDG files. First of all noticed it was called "GSN.xml.txt" so renamed it to "GSN.xml" after that I check it was enabled via Specialise tab | Manage-Tech. Then created a GSN diagram. All seemed to work okay. Although a bit crude. The labels are left aligned in the shape instead of centre. In the toolbar I can see elements;
  • Goal
  • Strategy
  • Solution
  • Context
  • Jusification
  • Assumption
Happy to help
:)

You might have selected a perspective that hides this particular MDG.
Try setting your perpective to All
