Sparx Systems initially released Enterprise Architect in 2000. The user base ranges from programmers and business analysts through to enterprise architects, in organizations ranging from small developer companies, multi-national corporations and government organizations through to international industry standards bodies. Īlong with system modeling, Enterprise Architect covers the core aspects of the application development life-cycle, from requirements management through to design, construction, testing and maintenance phases, with support for traceability, project management and change control of these processes, as well as, facilities for model driven development of application code using an internal integrated-development platform. The aspects that can be covered by this type of modeling range from laying out organizational or systems architectures, business process reengineering, business analysis, and service-oriented architectures and web modeling, through to application and database design and re-engineering, and development of embedded systems.

Then either select the new relevant perspectives required or set the perspective back to default by Perspective > Activate All.Systems modeling using UML provides a basis for modeling all aspects of organizational architecture, along with the ability to provide a foundation for designing and implementing new systems or changing existing systems. If you ever find yourself in this position, check the perspectives display down the bottom right of the program.

Sometimes people can't find the tool they're looking for because they have a perspective set and aren't aware.

So essentially, you can apply a Perspective to display functions/tools appropriate to the task you're performing and hide all the rest. Perspectives in Enterprise Architect are used to tailor toolsets for domain-specific modeling scenarios.

If you like to dock the Toolbox and Project Explorer together in the same spot, the guillemets arrow can allow you to swap back and forth between the two. Pressing Alt+5 displays the Diagram Toolbox.īrings up the Diagram Toolbox in-place via a context sensitive menu. There are several ways to bring up the Toolbox in Enterprise Architect. The Toolbox is an often-essential part of the Enterprise Architect interface.
