Step 1 |
| If
you want to produce full Architectural Models
of your proposed solution, you should first
start by downloading the Trial Version of Sparx
Systems Enterprise Architect 7.5, if you don't
already have it.
Download it
from here |
 |
| |
|
Step 2 |
| Each
of your SharePoint Shapes can be captured from
Visio and applied to your User Interface design.
Once you have set up your project
and created a User Interface Drawing Type,
simply Drag 'n' drop the UI Control from the
Toolbox to the drawing you are creating.
Give the element a name and
click OK. |
 |
| |
|
|
Step 3 |
| From
Visio, Drag the required shape from your
SharePoint Shapes Stencil onto a blank drawing.
In this case we have dragged
the Site Action menu button from a
Publishing Template.
Right click on the shape and
select Copy, or alternatively, Hold CTRL and
Press C. |
 |
| |
|
|
Step 4 |
|
Right click the UI Control object that you just
dropped on the Interface Diagram.
Select Appearance then
Apply Image from Clipboard from the second
pop-up menu.
|
 |
| |
|
|
Step 5 |
| Once
you click on the Apply Image from Clipboard,
your UI Control Object in EA will change from
the Box to the Image from your shapes library. |
 |
| |
|
|
Step
6 |
| The
last thing you need to do to tidy your diagram
up, is to Hide the Name under the Image.
Continue to do this until you
have a complete User Interface designed.
Now because you have used
Enterprise Architect, you immediately have
access to all the other great features that come
with this outstanding product.
