With EA-Matic you can develop add-ins for Enterprise Architect using the built-in scripting feature of EA.
This example EA-Matic script keeps the signature of the overriding operations in sync with the signature of the overridden operation.
This is especially useful when you are modelling an interface and a number of classes that realize this interface. EA has this neat feature Overrides and Implementations accessed by Ctrl-Shift-O to copy operations from an interface or superclass to the realizing/specializing class.
This works great when you have created a new operation, or added a new realizing class, but once you change the signature of your interface operation you are on your own.… Read more
With EA-Matic you can develop add-ins for Enterprise Architect using the built-in scripting feature of EA.
This example EA-Matic script keeps the names of objects synchronized with the name of their classifier.
When modelling with objects the name of the object is often left empty because it doesn’t have any significance at that point. One of the downsides of this practice is that in things like the traceability view, or in the links view the object shows up without a name, which of course doesn’t help much.… Read more

This example shows how to make diagrams that maintain themselves to make sure they are always up-to-date.
The idea is that we want a diagram that shows all the relations of the owning object. The diagram should always be up-to-date without manual intervention.
To indicate that this diagram is an automatic diagram we nest it under the class and prefix it with AUTO_Â and on the diagram we place the owning object and its related elements
