Hierarchical Viewpoints [message #1697954]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way to organize my viewpoints hierarchically. Doesn't have to be in the odesign file but I'd like to structure them in the Viewpoints Selection to make it easier for the user.
Is this possible? If not, are you going to support this in the future?
Can you tell me the gerenal starting point to look for if I want to modify the Viewpoints Selection dialog?

Thank you!

Hello,

I do not think this is possible or planned to be possible. Out of
curiosity, can you tell me how many viewpoints are displayed in the
Viewpoint Selection Dialog?
In each of your viewpoint do you have set the "Model File Extension"
field? It is used to display the viewpoint only if the modeling project
contains a semantic model with the expected file extension.

Regards,
Steve

Hello Steve,

thank you for your reply and sorry it took me so long to answer your questions.

Right now, I have 16 Viewpoints displayed, 7 of them because I am extending another tool based on Sirius, 9 by myself.

The hint with the Model File Extension is not applicable in my case, as they are all working (and need to work) with UML Models (.uml).

But no problem, I am just going to provide my own Viewpoint Selection / Create Representation Windows, where I can structure the Viewpoints how I'd like to have them. The alphabetical order in the Sirius Viewpoint Selection also is counter-productive for me, because my Viewpoints are related to a process and therefore should be ordered in a defined way (that is not alphabetically).

Regards,
Jennifer
