Sparx Systems introduced the ribbons tabs interface in Enterprise Architect 13 to replace the traditional menus.

Ribbons group commands related to an activity e.g. Design to build the model with new elements and diagrams, Layout (see below) to change the look and feel of diagrams...

Under each ribbon, commands are grouped by functionality, e.g. security commands under the configure tab to manage users, groups, permissions, and locks.

Where the purpose of this modern interface is to make Enterprise Architect features easily accessible, several users find it difficult at first to find their way round.

This article is aimed at providing a guidance and some help with a detailled set of mapping information based on Enterprise Architect versions 12.1 (build 1230) and 13 (build 1310).

Important: 

  • This is the first version (0.1) as changes may be carried in future versions.
  • Please contact me on guillaume [at] umlchannel.com if you have any feedback or spot a glitch.
  • Enterprise Architect 12.1 menu items with a "removed" match is provided when it is not covered in the ribbon interface. It does not mean that the feature has been removed from the tool as it could be available via an alternative way (right click, toolbar...) 

To find the matching ribbon location in Enterprise Architect 13, the mapping information follows version 12.1 menu structure:

/sparx-enterprise-architect-12.1-menu

Below is the Enterprise Architect 12.1 menus to 13 ribbons mapping overview:
