Hi all,

is there a way to check which major version of EA is being used when opening a project? I know such a feature could be realized with an Add-In. But I am looking for a feature that is part of the EA-Project.
I want to inform the user when opening the EA-Project that he should use another EA major version.

Thanks
Dieter

You could use an EA-Matic script, or maybe use one of those model-addin scripts that were added recently.
(of course the latter won't work in an older version that doesn't support model add-ins yet)

Come to think of it, there is also a build-in setting that you can use for exactly this
Look at Configure | Model | Options | General | Minimum Version
I think this will not allow users with an older version as the one specified to open this model.

Do you happen to know since when this one exists? It never came to my attention yet.

A few years now; The list starts with version 13, so there's a good chance that was the version it was introduced in.
