I'm using Sparx's Enterprise Architect v10.0.1007
Is there an Opportunity element as I am wanting to capture a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis?
If so, where do I find it in the toolbox?
Nowhere. There is nothing along those lines in EA. You could create your own MDG for this purpose.
Actually, there isn't anything in the base functionality, but there is in the TOGAF MDG. This is from the TOGAF help files.

Hi How do we Autogenerate Sequence diagrams using Enterprise architect software? I have gone through article http://blog.lieberlieber.com/2012/03/13/tutorial-nunit-and-sequence-diagram-recording-in-enterprise-architect-9-3/ but in that blog, its not shown how to generate diagrams using NUnit project. He has mentioned that we could do using nUnit, but its not explained how to do. Also is there any way to generate same diagrams using SpecFlow project?
Thanks in advance.
Sparx EA uses debug symbol output to identify sequences of calls between in-memory objects and build a sequence diagram, e.g. from the call stack. To leverage this you need to attach EA into a process that is emitting debug symbols (in a similar way to how you might attach an IDE into a process to debug it) and use the EA 'debug' tools to add breakpoints, step through lines and so on. How you get hold of these tools depends on the version of EA that you're using (ribbon, menus etc often get changed between versions), but somewhere you will find the Debugger window. From there just follow your nose.
I am trying to create a Reports diagram with a model document and report specification in Enterprise Architect. The embarrassing part of this is that I've done this before, but can't work out how I did it. And I didn't take notes which I probably should do since this is something like a once every 2 years task for me.
In an older EA project, I have model document w/ custom templates in a reports diagram that will generate a data dictionary. Works great and I want that same thing for an EA project for a different, unrelated project.
But I can seem to figure out the first step, which is that Reports Diagram.
I am using version EA 13.0.1307.
Make sure you have the required MDG technology active.
You need the Core Extentions MDG to be able to create documentation diagrams
Create a Documentation Diagram
When creating a new diagram select Extented from the left pane, and Documentation from the right pane
Now the toolbox should show the elements you need to create your virtual document.
I'm using the latest version of UML Designer (7.1) for Eclipse. I have to create a Sequence Diagram, but in the palettes there are no combined Fragments. All I have are actors and sync/async messages. In some tutorials I've seen seen palettes with comb. fragments.. But I don't have them. How is it possible?
The combined fragments are not implemented in UML Designer and there is no plan to implement them at the moment.
As UML Designer is based on Eclipse Sirius, it is possible to do it and maybe you saw the same kind of features in another Sirius based modeler.
If you are interested in sponsoring us to implement this feature do not hesitate to comment the existing issue :

I was asked about this, someone mentioned me about Webratio, is there any othe tool or framework comparable to this, preferable oss?
Thanks.
I don't think so. WebML was created by the same people that founded WebRatio. Even if now they are trying to push it as a standard OMG web modeling language I don't think right now there are other tools that support it.
Jordi, you are right. As far as I know there are no other industrial implementations of WebML.
WebRatio is not opensource, but it can be downloaded for free for non commercial purposes.
Furthermore, along the line of standardizing the WebML language within OMG (under the name of IFML), we plan to release an opensource modeling tool.
OOH4RIA is a valid option, although experimental, but is not covering the WebML notation. It's instead based on an extension of the OOH notation for rich interfaces.
[Disclaimer: I'm with Politecnico di Milano and WebRatio, and among the inventors of WebML/IFML]
I think Ooh4RIA could be an option.
Anyone have any ideas on where to get a really nice collection of visio shapes, e.g for the following purposes:
network diagrams
shapes to show solution deployments
any other fancy looking diagrams for software development?
Pavel Hruby has some nice stencils for UML and SysML on his site. I use the UML stencils all the time, because they are a lot easier to use than the ones provided by visio.
There is a nice bunch of visio shapes for gui mockups here.

Below is another option. Some are "for pay".
