Packages Open Package in the Project Browserĭiagrams are visual representations of how model elements are connected or behaviorally related. Packages hold other Packages, elements, diagrams and similar model constructs. The basic containers that create the overall model structure. Views are simply Packages that have an additional conceptual meaning. Views are the second level within a model and define a specific viewpoint of the system being modeled - for example a Use Case view, a Requirements View or a Dynamic (behavioral) View. Using Enterprise Architect, you can quickly build a model using a hierarchy of Packages to represent the structure and organization of the model.Ī model is the highest conceptual level, representing a distinct and complete representation of all or some part of a modeled system. Use pre-existing ones, or create your own!Įxtend the power of Enterprise Architect to create your own domain-specific Add-Ins, scripts and functionality. Use patterns, templates and wizards to rapidly build your models. Creating hyperlinks helps you to draw separate objects and documents together wherever appropriate to define or support a given context. In developing your model, you inevitably have to store information and structures in different places for different purposes and in different formats. Hyperlinks add an incredible versatility to both navigation of your model and the provision of information through the various methods of communication within your project. Notes can be shown on the diagram, in the element or from the Notes View. Provide a text-based description of specific elements. Their contents can be viewed in many different ways dependant on your needs.ĭiagrams are used to define specific relationships between a select number of elements in a visual manner.Įlements are the building blocks of your model, create and reuse elements to build up your systems.Ĭonnectors define the relationships between your elements.Įxtend the default properties of your elements with custom Tagged Values. Packages are the containers for your elements and your diagrams. Views provide unique windows and dialogs to explore the relationships of the elements in your model. A Project can have one or many models contained within it. Models are the top level of an Enterprise Architect Project.
