Hi,
there is no additional locking or any other mechanism. Just plain EA on a single machine and the default installation of eaDoX. I have no other extensions running and I am using a simple EAP file.
I just reproduced it using Excel export.
The steps are as follows:
1. Open an arbitrary model.
2. Create new Excel workbook.
3. Export some data (doesn’t matter, which).
4. Close the eaDoX window and open an arbitrary diagram from the model.
5. Try to add an element to the diagram (again, it doesn’t matter, which).
6. Fail – you can select the element from the Toolbox, but can not drop it onto the canvas.
Even if you close the model afterwards and re-open it, it is still impossible to add elements to the canvas.
Close EA and restart it and things get even worse. Opening a model (even a very small one) takes minutes, diagams open very slowly and still I can not add any new element to a diagram.
7. De-install eaDoX and everything works again.
I am pretty sure that I do something wrong, maybe I need to release some form of lock held by eaDoX (similar to the “F2” key needed to make Excel accept input), but I not yet figured out what to do.
Does EA write out some log data? I couldn’t find a file named .log in any relevant folder.
Could it be some .Net poblem? Is there a known conflict with some .Net version?
