Quick Linker, «trace», toolbox and Filter to Toolbox

[Uffe]

Hello,


I've got an MDG Technology with two stereotypes between which I want to be able to draw «trace» and nothing else.
So I've set _HideUmlLinks, drawn a «stereotyped relationship», and added «trace» to the relevant toolbox.

This doesn't work.

When I try to draw a new connector using the quick linker, I get nothing. No popup menu, zip.
If I disable Filter to Toolbox, the popup menu appears and contains only Trace.

So even though I have added «trace» to the toolbox, it doesn't work with Filter to Toolbox enabled.

1) Can someone verify whether this is still the case in 15.1? I'm on 15.0 and there's nothing in the release notes.

2) Is there a way to get EA to do what the documentation and the support people say it's supposed to do?

Thanks,

Exactly what have you added to your toolbox?

Exactly what have you added to your toolbox?

+    UML::Realization = Realization
+    UML::TraceLink = Trace
+    MyProfile::MyStereotype(UML::Dependency) = MyConnectorName

Precisely as instructed on Connectors Used in Toolboxes.

The realization works, as does my stereotyped dependency. The trace doesn't.

Thank you.

It will work if you add
+    EAUML::Trace(UML::Abstraction) = Trace

ie. Specify what is actually created rather than the historical anomaly. I'll make sure we update to support both versions.

This works, thank you.

Although I do think that calling the only way to add the trace relationship to a toolbox that can be found either in the documentation (up to and including 15.2) or the profile helper (up to and including 15.1.1528) an "historical anomaly" is a bit of a stretch.
