Yes. It is possible to use or stack multiple diagram legends on screen at the one time that can be applied to multiple elements and/or connectors. Enterprise Architect dynamically color according to the union of all the different Legend conditions. For example, this approach lets you dynamically color or affect the appearance of Requirements according to Status, Components according to Phase, Use Cases according to Version, and so on. By stacking multiple Legends you have the ability to create a very rich and detailed diagram that conveys a huge amount of information in its dynamically applied styles.

You can have conditions that operate on different properties, by defining those conditions in separate Legend elements. However, check that the conventions in the two Legends operate on different display characteristics; for example, one Legend setting Class fill color whilst the other sets Class border width. They cannot both act on the same property, such as Class fill color. If they do, the most recently-created Legend (or the one with the highest Z-order) over-rides the previous Legend. In other words, if a conflict arises between two diagram legends, then the Z-Order is used to determine which Diagram Legend takes precedence. For more information, see the Help Topic Diagram Legends.

Yes. Click on the Elipse button, select whether the convention is to apply to an element (or connector) property or to a Tagged Value. Please refer to the Help topic on Legend Key to learn more about adding a Filter based on the contents of a tagged value property.

Yes, the Element Type on the Roadmap was a Class Element. The Roadmap Diagram and Diagram legend is used to apply the bands on each Class Element. When you open the Roadmap Properties, there is a checkbox that reads "Use legend for phase colors". This checkbox is used to enable the bands and is a new feature in Enterprise Architect 12.1.

BPSim Simulation with Enterprise Architect you will need an appropriate execution engine that can understand the BPSim standard. Sparx Systems has teamed up with Lanner (recognised as the world's leading business process simulation and optimisation organisation) to provide you with the MDG BPSim Execution Engine, which enables seamless integration between model, configuration, simulation and results.

Virtualization operates on waypoints in a connector line, and therefore requires the connector line style to be set to Custom Line. Refer to Help Guide for more information on Virtual Elements.
