Enhance your modeling capabilities and streamline your business processes with Enterprise Architect's versatile tools and proven UML extensions.

Selecting the Perspective

Enterprise Architect partitions the tool's extensive features into Perspectives, which ensures that you can focus on a specific task and work with the tools you need without the distraction of other features. To work with the Eriksson-Penker Business Extensions features you first need to select this Perspective:

<perspective name> > Analysis > Eriksson-Penker Model

Setting the Perspective ensures that the Eriksson-Penker Business Extensions diagrams, their Tool Box pages and other features of the Perspective will be available by default.
