Enterprise Architect provides a number of layouts of windows and toolbars to suit particular areas of work, such as Requirements Management, Code Engineering and Debugging. As described above, you can also add your own layouts to the drop-down list; these custom layout names have a preceding asterisk in the drop- down list for the field (the system-provided layouts are not marked with an asterisk).

Note:

When you upgrade your system to a new edition of Enterprise Architect, the new edition might contain window or toolbar layout changes made by Sparx Systems. These changes might impact your previously- customized workspace layouts. In such cases, when you select each of your customized layouts in the Selection field, the following prompt displays:

Click on the OK button to ensure that your customized layout contains the system upgrades.

Views

Clicking on the drop-down arrow for the Views icon lists options for displaying various views of information on

model content, such as the Element List , Model Search and Relationship Matrix (see UML Modeling

with Enterprise Architect – UML Modeling Tool). Click on the appropriate option to display the required view

screen.

Windows

Clicking on the drop-down arrow for the Windows icon lists options for opening each of the Enterprise

Architect windows (as on the View menu options). Click on the appropriate option to open the required

window, or to transfer control to the window if it is already open.

Toolbars

Clicking on the drop-down arrow for the Toolbars icon lists options for opening or hiding each of the nine

Enterprise Architect main toolbars and the diagram Status Bar . Click on the appropriate option to hide

or display the required toolbar.

Full Screen

Click on this icon to switch the Enterprise Architect display to Full Screen mode. A small dialog displays to

enable you to switch back to normal mode. Alternatively, click on the Window | Full Screen menu option.

8.10 Status Bar

The Status bar displays at the bottom of the Enterprise Architect workspace. It provides feedback on current operations and other status information, and enables you to enlarge the scale of the diagram.

In particular the Status bar:

· Identifies the type and name of the currently selected element in a diagram (or the status of a Model

Search)

· Identifies the name of the currently-selected feature, if one is selected

· Provides the current coordinates of the top left corner of the selected element, and its width and height

· Provides a zoom slider that enables you to enlarge the scale of the current diagram by up to 50%

Note:

This facility has no impact on other users who might view the diagram. It has the same function as the Scale view by field on the Diagram Appearance page of the Options dialog; changes in the 'zoomed' display scale of a diagram update this field and are applied to any other diagrams that you open. This also has no impact any other diagram Zoom facility in Enterprise Architect.

· Indicates the status of [Caps Lock], [Num Lock], [ScrLk] (scroll lock) and the WAN Optimizer (bold

indicates 'in use', pale indicates 'off')

· Indicates, by the presence of a triangle in the bottom right corner, that the screen is not maximized; you

can drag the screen corner to increase the size of the window.

If you right-click on the Status bar, a context menu displays that enables you to hide or show the element name, element coordinates, zoom slider or status indicators.

You can hide or show the Status bar from the View | Toolbars | Status Bar menu option, but you cannot dock

it in any other position.

8.11 Rich Text Notes Toolbar

Although it is not an independent toolbar that you can pin to the screen top or sides, or float in your work area, the Rich Text Notes toolbar appears in many places across Enterprise Architect in the Notes and Description fields of:

· The element Properties dialog:

· General tab

· Requirements tab

· Scenario tab

· Hyperlink Notes

· The DiagramProperties dialog

· The Connector Properties dialog

· The Message Properties dialog

· The Operations and AttributesProperties dialogs

· The Testing Window descriptions

· The Notes window

· The Rules and Scenarios Window for:

· Requirements

· Linked Requirements

· Scenarios.

Notes:

· If the toolbar is displayed but grayed out, the text field is read-only and cannot be edited. Other

Description or Notes fields in Enterprise Architect might not have the toolbar, in which case the Rich Text Notes facility is not available for those fields.

· For any Notes text that is displayed on a diagram, you must select the Render Formatted Notes checkbox on the Feature Visibility dialog in order to reproduce the formatting (see UML Modeling with Enterprise Architect – UML Modeling Tool).

· You can create a Project Glossary term and definition from text in any field that has the Rich Text Notes toolbar. See The Notes Window .

The options of this toolbar operate on selected text and any new text continuing from the formatting. The options (with some keyboard shortcuts) are, from left to right:

· Make text bold [Ctrl]+[B]

· Make text italic [Ctrl]+[I]

195

· Underline text [Ctrl]+[U]

· Change the font color of the text

· Insert list bullet points [Ctrl]+[.] (full stop)

· Insert list numbering [Ctrl]+[1]

· Make text superscript

· Make text subscript

· Insert a hyperlink - this displays the following Hyperlink Details dialog, on which you specify the type of hyperlink and type in or browse for the location of the target of the hyperlink.

Additional keyboard shortcuts:

· Undo changes [Ctrl]+[Z]

· Redo changes [Ctrl]+[Y] or [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Z]

· Copy [Ctrl]+[C]

· Paste [Ctrl]+[V]

· Cut [Ctrl]+[X]

Diagram Tabs | 106

9 Diagram Tabs

Diagram Tabs are located at either the bottom or the top of the diagram area, above the status bar. The default location is at the bottom of the diagram area; for details of how to place the diagram tabs at the top,

see the Configure Local Options | General topic. Each time you open a diagram, the diagram name and

diagram type symbol are shown in the tab for easy identification and access.

Notice that the Component View tab is white with bold text; this means that the current diagram is the

Component View diagram.

Also notice that the Use Case View tab has an asterisk. This means that there are unsaved changes in the

Use Case View diagram. To save the changes see below.
