Fix eight entries 'Visible' from 'true' to 'false'. Here is one example with the erroneous entry: ?SATool Alignment='4' Caption='?Adorn with Stereotype' Category='General' Checked='false' Description='' Enabled='true' HelpContextID='0' IsAccessControlled='true' Name='SAIDM_348' ShortcutKey='' Style='1' SubBand='' Text='' ToolID='348' ToolTipText='Adorn with Stereotype' Visible='true' /? 5. The 8 can be found by searching for these 'Name' entries' Name='SAIDM_348' Name='SAIDM_349' Name='SAIDM_508' Name='SAIDM_509' Name='SAIDM_510' Name='SAIDM_511' Name='SAIDM_512' Name='SAIDM_513' 6. Find and delete the file named 'sausrtbf.tbf' For example, if the OS is Win-XP, delete: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Local Settings\Application Data\Telelogic\System Architect\sausrtbf.tbf 7. Restart System Architect.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The view menu has a set of hidden entries that are activated whenever the user selects certain symbols on certain diagrams. Whenever a new encyclopedia is opened, these menu entries should be reset back to hidden, but that is not happening correctly.
Problem conclusion
Several entries in the shipping version of our Toolbar file (SAtbf.tbf) were mistakenly set to "always visible". They were now fixed.
