Hello,

i have to use Eclipse with Papyrus in my practical semester.

No I've got some problems.

First, i wish there would be a step by step tutorial for Papyrus, because i spent a lot of time by learning how this modelling tool works....

My next Point is that i haven't found an option to export my created diagrams into png or something else...

And last, i can't add on class diagrams return parameters.

Can someone help me?

Normaly, you can export image by using contextual menu on a diagram:
File>Save as image file. If this is not the case, this is a bug

About parameters, are they "return parameters of operation"?

Another very funny debug is that in a sequence diagram, if i add an action to a lifeline, and a second one which is on the first action and then i wanna change the order of these actions, the orders are permutes. If i click "send to back" it brings it to the front *g* and if i click "send to front" it goes to back ......

Hello Angi,

Thanks for pointing this out.
Could you open a bug against MDT Papyrus on the Eclipse bugzilla ?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/

Even if we are trying our best, MDT Papyrus is not yet free of bugs.
Any help and suggestions are more than welcome :) (by reporting bugs,
providing patchs, discussing the implementation / specification...).

Best Regards,

Thibault

In the property view, you can create a parameter for an operation, then
select the parameter, you can change the direction "in", "out", "inout",
"return".

About the save of diagram, it is already fixed for the next release at the
end of september.

Papyrus team,

Thank you,

Just in the Modelexplorer i see my parameter.

Maybe you misunderstood Patrick?
The option to export images can be found in the context menu. You have to click into the diagram with the right button of your mouse.Then the context menu appears next to your mouse pointer. The option can not be found in the menu at the top of the window!

In the context menu there are several items starting with "Filter views...", "Add", "Navigate", and the fourth item is "File". Inside "File" you can find "Save As Image File...". You can choose between several formats like GIF, PNG, SVG, and PDF in the dialog. Though PDF is not working for me.

EDIT: The context menu can have different items, depending on where on your diagram you click. The items I listed appear if you right click somewhere into the diagram where no element is placed. If you do right click on an element some items are missing. But "File" is always there.

Oh Thank you,
I found it now and it works. But If someone is new at papyrus he doesn't find this option Smile

I think it's a main function which is needed every time....
