Enterprise Architecture (EA) extended shapes
Use the Enterprise Architecture shapes to model current and future-state architectures in Enterprise Architecture Workspace.
EA Extended shapes in Enterprise Modeling and Visualization
You can add a shape to the canvas by either selecting the shape or by dragging the shape from the Shapes
You can also adjust the size of shapes by selecting a shape and then drag any of its edges or corner handles. Pulling outward increases the shape's dimensions, while dragging inward reduces its size.
Note: Connector ports on EA Extended shapes are bi-directional. You can use any connector port—top, bottom, left, or right—as either an input or an output when connecting shapes in a diagram.
