![]() One of the areas where Omnigraffle really excels over other diagramming software is in its handling of connections. ![]() Like a lot of Mac users I’m a big fan of the Omni Group’s Omnigraffle. It’s included here for the benefit of Omnigraffle users who might want to develop something along similar lines. ![]() TRAK::Application of Systems Engineering to the Design of TRAKīy Nic Plum on Friday 19 August, 2011 - 14:48 GMT.INCOSE UK Chapter's Annual Systems Engineering Conference: 8th - 10th November 2010.Systems Engineer - Early Lifecycle (ATC Signalling / TRAK).Salamander MooD - Version 2 of TRAK Template for MooD 2010 Released.Sparx Systems EA - Script - Delete Specified Tagged Value Across Repository.SparxSystems EA Script - Correct Protective Marking Tagged Value ('pm marking') Across Entire EA Project.MDG Technology for TRAK - Version 0.124.Applications / Utility of Architecture Description Views for System Safety and System Security?.Systems Architect - Defence Systems (Bedford / Lockheed Martin).TRAK Article Published by The Institution of Engineers (Singapore).Every Viewpoint Has to Be Distinct - Say “Goodbye” to the TRAK CVp-02 Concept Viewpoint.Risk and Threats - The Common Ground Between Security and Safety?.Definitions - What Exactly is a Risk?.Just When You Thought It Was Safe - EntiTy Returns.Definitions - What Exactly is a Risk Part 2?.What Would a TRAK View Look Like in a Graph Database?

This is a bit of a tale, and not an unusual one at that. It concerns the development of a stencil for the Omni Group’s OmniGraffle drawing application which is available for both Mac and iPad. I’m a long time user of OmniGraffle Pro (at least 8 years) as well the the Mac (still have my original Mac Iici working) and OmniGraffle is just an easy to use and intuitive means of producing good drawings. The OmniGraffle Stencil for TRAK Implements the TRAK Definition The Beginning - Fumblings All of the stuff in the defining TRAK documentation is produced using it.Īnyway, thought it might be an idea to have a stencil of the stereotypes and relationships to be able to knock up a quick TRAK architecture view when I felt it merited it (rather than firing up a bigger modelling tool such as Sparx Enterprise Architect). Not knowing anything about developing a stencil I simply created the blocks needed for the TRAK views and added a set of connectors for the relationships having labelled them. Then I discovered on loading the stencil that OmniGraffle presents the bare connectors separately from the labels for those connectors so there were many connectors in the stencil all seemingly the same. This time I just had 2 connectors and a text label for each relationship. This cut down the noise but I discovered that on the iPad version it wasn’t easy to use these as it didn’t seem to allow you to drag the label onto the connector and for the 2 to remain locked together as it would do on the desktop version. This next version had separate connectors, each with it’s own label but this time I grouped the label with the line and this indeed stopped the stencil from displaying them separately. Now I felt I was starting to get the hang of it. The obvious choice was to lodge this onto Sourceforge with all the other TRAK stuff so I created a new project ( trakomnigraffle) and then discovered the front end of Sourceforge had changed so much I no longer knew where to go to do what in setting it up. This looks to be a consequence of security and an earlier attack on Sourceforge this year. This is a site that holds stencils and templates for OmniGraffle.
