Enterprise Architect and the CIM 5 Keys to Success extension People Process Success profiling Technology “It’s amazing what you can do with the right tool.” --Anonymous Enterprise Architect and the CIM 6 Barrier to Success Grady Booch, developer of the Unified Modeling Language in conjunction with Ivar Jacobs and James Rumbaugh Enterprise Architect and the CIM 7 Strategy for Success Most successful engagements do all three: Give, Teach, and Equip CIM University - Enterprise Architect and the CIM 8 Introduction to Enterprise Architect Enterprise Architect and the CIM 9 Downloading & Installing Enterprise Architect Enterprise Architect and the CIM 10 Enterprise Architect User Interface Enterprise Architect Ribbons Project Browser Window Diagram Window Element Properties Window Toolbars Keyboard Shortcuts Enterprise Architect and the CIM 11 Start Ribbon Interface The 'Start' ribbon provides a range of facilities for exploring, navigating and viewing the information in the repository. These include tools to navigate and search for items, to view the important events, messages, discussions and work that is relevant to a modeler on a given day, and to view and change your workspace settings, including styles and preferences. This ribbon also provides access to the Help facilities, including registering license keys and checking for updates. Enterprise Architect and the CIM 12 Design Ribbon Interface The 'Design' ribbon is used to develop and visualize a model by creating diagrams, matrices and lists of important aspects of the system. Requirements and other specifications can be created and viewed and, regardless of the technology or language of expression, compelling representations can be created, viewed and tied together to form either powerful blueprints of a system to be implemented or documentation of an existing system. Enterprise Architect and the CIM 13 Layout Ribbon Interface The 'Layout' ribbon can be used to create sophisticated views of a model alignment of elements and sections to create high-quality diagrams. Diagrams are one of the most powerful and compelling ways of visualizing information. The appearance of elements in diagrams can be completely changed by adding border, fill and text colors, creating meaning and appeal. Diagram Filters and Layout tools can be used to automatically change the appearance of diagrams, and Swimlanes and Roadmaps can be configured, adding rich presentations. A filter can be applied to hide elements that don't meet a specific condition, and a range of helpers can assist with element alignment. Enterprise Architect and the CIM 14 Specialize Ribbon Interface The 'Specialize' ribbon provides facilities to enable and access Add-Ins (extensions written in COM) and MDG Technologies that interact with the Enterprise Architect user interface to extend and specialize the product's capabilities. Enterprise Architect and the CIM 15 Publish Ribbon Interface The 'Publish' ribbon brings together all the tools for publishing, documenting and importing and exporting valuable model assets in a wide range of formats and styles, ranging from publications for corporate audiences to spreadsheets, XML schemas, Patterns, Reusable Assets and much more. The model is the repository of valuable organizational information and knowledge, and people who don't access the model directly can still get access to this knowledge through this panel of tools. Enterprise Architect and the CIM 16 Configure Ribbon Interface The 'Configure' ribbon is used for managing the way a repository is used, from the setup of reference data, security and version control to audits and integrity checks. Enterprise Architect is a powerful and flexible platform and can be configured to suit any enterprise, business or technical team. Enterprise Architect and the CIM 17 Project Browser Window The Project Browser is a window that displays Packages, diagrams, elements and element features in a tree-like structure, reflecting the arrangement of elements and Packages within your model. The Project Browser is the primary mechanism for browsing and exploring your model and is the jumping off point for many of the most important features in Enterprise Architect.
