Questions et Réponses

Général

Select multiple elements in the diagram, right-click and select from the context menu: Space Evenly | Across or Down
  • Individual diagram images can be exported using the menu option: Diagram | Save as Image
  • All diagrams below a selected package can be exported to an RTF document using: Project | Documentation | Diagrams Only Report. (Diagrams will be exported in a raster graphics format.)
  • The sample model provided on this page also provides a custom RTF template for generating a Diagrams Only report. This report uses a vector graphics format for the diagrams.
  • Select Project | Publish Model. Tick "Generate Diagram Images" and select the desired format. This will export the package to XMI, but at the same time will also output all diagrams as images.
  • Write a script which loops all diagrams and calls the Project.PutDiagramImageToFile method.
You can do this using the menu option: Tools | Options | Links | Default Style | Routing. This applies to all new connectors. Although not all line styles are currently available from this option, we hope to improve this in a future release.
Currently there is no plan to support a Flash output for diagrams. There is, however, a third-party add-in available from this post on the Community website which provides export to SVG.
No. As discussed in a previous webinar we invite you to share your typical use cases for this feature.
Yes. You can make a connector always draw to a specific feature on the element, such as an attribute or operation, by using the Link to Element Feature command.

You can also pin connector ends in a specific location. Right-click a connector and choose from the "Pin End(s)" options.
The last element in the selection that was clicked, as indicated by the hatched border. This is also true of the other align and resize functions.

Alternatively, you can left-click any one of your selected elements to make that the reference element for the align/resize function. An example of this is shown in the presentation, where the in-place format bar was used to resize two Enumeration elements.
Thanks for the request. We will raise this with the development team.
Drag and drop an external image from a file explorer window directly onto your Enterprise Architect diagram and choose "Insert". Once you have inserted the image into the diagram, you can copy it within your diagram view and paste it onto other diagrams as required.
Yes. In the presentation we showed only filtering of connectors, as there were multiple types of connectors that matched the criteria. The same can be done for elements - see the controls in the top-right of the Insert Related Elements dialog.
Yes. You can use Enterprise Architect's Diagram Hyperlink element to link to other diagrams. When generating HTML documentation from your model, these will link to the relevant diagram, provided that the target diagram is also included in the generated report.
The RunHTMLReport API is available from the Project interface and allows you to generate the model in HTML format via a script. You can identify a starting Package via the first parameter.
It is a Model Script, which was created in Enterprise Architect and written in VBScript. It was created within the Diagram Script Group - meaning it will become available in the context menu when you right-click on the diagram canvas. You can learn more from the Enterprise Architect User Guide's Model Scripts topic and our previous webinar that featured Model Script debugging.

The script used in this presentation is available in the resources section above.
To include it in your own models:
  1. Add a new Diagram Group using the Scripting window: Tools | Scripting
  2. Add a new VBScript into the Script Group created above
  3. Edit the script and overwrite its contents with the contents of the supplied file.
  4. Save your new script and check that you can see it in the context menu when you right-click a diagram's background.
RTF templates can be exported via the menu: Project | Model Import/Export | Export Reference Data.

The Enterprise Architect Enterprise Architect User Guide explains how to set default styles via the Normal.rtf file.
As described in the Enterprise Architect Enterprise Architect User Guide, element hierarchy can be defined in CSV.

Connectors are not supported using the built-in CSV Import/Export Specifications, however there are scripting libraries available which can assist with defining your own customized CSV Import/Export processes. In Enterprise Architect, these libraries can be accessed via the menu: View | Scripting | EAScriptLib | JScript-CSV.
You can validate a BPEL process diagram with Enterprise Architect.

For generic BPMN diagrams, however, model validation is currently not built-in. There are some commercial third-party plug-ins for Enterprise Architect to do this though. For example see:

http://www.enterprisemodelingsolutions.com/content/bpmn_validation
The Circle, Ellipse and Spring layouts may get part of the way toward a horse shoe pattern. Try it by selecting clusters of elements rather than operating on every element on a complex diagram.

You should also look at the "Lateral Tree Style - Vertical' routing. We've found this can give a suitable result when you have a class with a very large set of child elements. Especially for an A4 page with a portrait layout, you can align the child elements vertically down the page, as shown below. Remember the Align tools and the "Space Evenly Down" command from the context menu.
