Enterprise Architect provides a Addin-Architecture to expand its possibilities. This page describes, how to enable a new Addin like IncrementalDBSync (Database-Auto-Refreshing). A more detailed guide can be found here.

##Registering a new Enterprise Architect Addin

  1. Download the latest version of the addin. If you want to build it yourself, please follow these steps.
  2. Register the addin in the COM codebase. This can be done by using regasm.exe. This utility is located at Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ or a similar location. Run it with the absolute path to the Addin-DLL-File with additional flag /codebase.
  3. Register the addin for Enterprise Architect. Use regedit.exe and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins. Then add a new key, and edit the default value. Enter here [ProjectName].[ClassName] of your project, e.g. EnterpriseArchitectAutoRefresh.AutoRefreshAddin.
  4. Start Enterprise Architect. The Addin should now display in the main menu. There you can also activate the refresh-algorithm.
