The Ultimate Guide to upgrade to Sparx Enterprise Architect 14
Sparx Systems has released its beta version of Enterprise Architect 14. Sparx Systems have added various new features in this version.
It is high time for Enterprise Architect users to upgrade from Enterprise Architect 13.5 to Enterprise Architect 14. We thought a guide with list of menus, frequently used by EA practitioners would be very helpful. This ultimate guide focuses highly up on how to access those frequently used options from menu bars along with some shortcuts. Since there are many changes in menus for frequently used options like Package Baseline, Export/Import of XMI, Linked Documents and others. Below table shows comparison between Enterprise Architect 13.5 and Enterprise Architect 14.
