Bugs and Issues / Re: Best Practice for EAPX Replication

If your users intend to work on the same stuff in parallel, why do you not just consider having a proper SQL DB?

General Board / Re: Activation Code procedure

« on: February 12, 2019, 10:41:10 pm »

Yes, but it says nothing about how to create an EA company installation package, which do not need maybe hundreds of users to insert the activation code after the installation.

Hi philchudley,
for me the synchronisation seem to work.
However this was just a one shot test, because I still work productive with V13.

If you use a Dvorak Simplified Keyboard you can even have a bigger gap

Thank you Simon!
Great guess!
Yes, the root cause was an add-in.

Bugs and Issues / MSSQL Connection Warning [-2147217900]

« on: October 10, 2018, 07:12:11 pm »

Hi,
a college of mine gets the following waring when connecting to MSSQL DBs:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server [-2147217900]
Incorrect syntax near the keyword ‘RowCount’

He gets this warning for both SQL repositories he connects too, but other users do not see this warning.
Further on, the warning seem not to have impacts on the work within EA.

Any ideas?

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Status property and tagged values for diagrams

+1 because I miss that feature e.g. to state if a diagram was already reviewed or not.

Well Geert, but views might also have a kind of status.

However Geert is right when saying, you should focus more on your requirement elements and there states. Your requirements are your requirements and you can have many diagrams showing the same requirements.

Bugs and Issues / Re: Sysml Modeling Embedded Connectors/Plugs and Signals in Sparx

No, there are now build-in constraints in EA which disallow to connect ports of incompatible types. You have to take care about that.

So I think it is time to create a bug report.

From my investigations I get the impression, that the scaling problem starts if one has more than one line in the footer.

Geert do you have footers with more than one line?

I use a notebook with its monitor connected to and external monitor.
So I switched off my external monitor. However the problem still exists.

However I was wondering why you do not know this.

I tried a Sparx document template with footers, and this works .  So the problem seem to be in my template, but currently I have no idea what switch causes that, maybe something about page break or keeping things together.

Hi Geert,
I just tried it in Word. The result is a bit different, but still not ok.

In Word I see the header and footer, but the diagram is cropped rather than scaled to see the footer.

Anyhow, currently Word is not an option for me, because of our cover page needs to have a graphics for whatever reason and some overlaying text coming from the model. Doing that, is very tricky and I did not get to manage it for Word.

Hi Geert,
in my document templates I have defined headers and footers containing some meta-data.
As expected, my generated PDF’s always show the headers then the generated model content and last the footers.
The document generator manages how to scale diagrams and when to create page breaks to have the headers and footers visible at any page.
This worked for me all the time, but not for a college of mine.
The difference is that my diagrams are all in A4 landscape format but the format of my college is A4 portrait format. Problems occur on diagram more or less entirely filled (to the end of the “diagram page”).
In such cases, of an entirely filled A4 portrait format diagram, the PDF shows the header (so it is scaled somehow), but not enough, because it overlaps the footer (not visible any more).
It seems to me to be a bug, but maybe there is some workaround.

General Board / RTF Scale Diagrams over footer

« on: September 24, 2018, 08:14:13 pm »

When you render diagrams in rtf, those get somehow scaled to fit on a page. However when I have “long” diagrams those overlay my page footer.
Is there a way to avoid this?
