User Guide for MDG for Microsoft Office
« on: December 28, 2020, 03:44:36 pm »
Hello,

I am new to Sparx EA. The main reason that let me go with the ultimate edition is the MDG Integration for Microsoft Office. So far, I have been unable to use the MDG for Microsoft Office, specifically Excel import/export. I have been using Bellekens' tool instead.

I don't seem to continue with the same edition next year or even recommend it to my organization.

I watched the 17-min video that introduces MDG Integration for Microsoft Office, but it is not enough.

I think it would be helpful to have a detailed User Guide for MDG for Microsoft Office and more video tutorials.

I have to say that I am disappointed.

Thank you,
Mo

Arshad,

Thank you very much! This should be very helpful.

I was hoping to find sample Excel documents for importing/exporing classes, attributes, enumeration, data types.

It seems that all the samples are for Requirements.

I wish that Sparx considers expanding on the use cases of the Excel import/export.

Thank you,
Mo
