@jetgeo maybe we can copy/paste these instructions to the Wiki so others can find reference!
I would actually recommend linking to the EA user guide, more specifically https://sparxsystems.com/eahelp/importmdgtechnologies.html in this case. This will save us for having to update documentation and/or for having outdated documentation on our website.
Tip: for any page in the documentation: take the last part, the file name (e.g. importmdgtechnologies.html
), and put https://sparxsystems.com/eahelp/
in front of that. When resolving the link you then obtain, you will be redirected to that page in the user guide for the latest EA guide. In this case https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.1/modeling_frameworks/importmdgtechnologies.html.
Fixed as suggested by @heidivanparys - see https://github.com/ISO-TC211/HMMG/tree/master/EA#readme
It took me a long time to understand the Sparx System help page 🤣
There is also no where that tells the user how to add the MDG, as a path or as a URL.
I actually wouldn't recommend users to add the MDG as URL. It means you won't have access to it when you work offline. This is an advanced option, described at https://sparxsystems.com/eahelp/access_remote_mdg_technologies.html.
@heidivanparys On a Mac, Enterprise Architect cannot load the MDG XML when I use the "Add Path" option. Of course it could work perfectly on Windows.
As a Mac user I'm using Enterprise Architect 16.1 through CrossOver.
Here are the steps I used to (finally) install the MDG XML.
Click on "Manage Technology"
Enter the "Manage Technology" screen
