Table of contents
Do you need to understand a new EA model?
Or just find out what your team have been doing?
The Model Expert dashboard and meta model views can help.
Meta-Model View
Project Browser > Package > Specialize / Model Expert / Create snapshot meta-model
Model Expert reads your model and draws a class diagram of the meta-model – showing the structure of your modeling – all the element types and stereotypes and how they are connected, as well as the fields and TVs that have been populated.

Finding and Fixing
With a meta model view it’s easy to spot missing data and inconsistencies.
You can spot when key element fields haven’t been filled in. Or if the wrong connector or element types have been used.
Right click on any part of the meta-model diagram, choose Model Expert > Show in Diagram to quickly find and correct the rogue elements and connector types.
Package Dashboard
Project Browser > Select Package > Specialize / Model Expert / Package Dashboard
The dashboard lets you see information about your package and navigate to the details:
