Having a problem with the visual editor in RSA

I am reading the RAD (Rational Application Developer) PDF and I am trying to follow it to use their visual editor. However, I am using RSA (Rational Software Architect).

Does RSA not have a "Visual Editor" for GUI design? This makes no since. RSA is supposed to include all of RAD and then some. RSA extends RAD, lol.

Has anyone worked on a GUI, visually using RSA?

Thanks!

I found this post from long ago that seems to back up my thoughts:

You get full WAS 6.0 Base server as a test environment with RAD.

RSM (Modeler) is a modeling tool. It is the next generation of Rational Rose and Rational XDE

RSM + RAD + a little bit more stuff = RSA (Architect).
RSA gives you all the modeling (use cases, all UML 2.0, etc.. + the whole RAD IDE)
Pattern and transformation authoring and generation.

If RSA = RSM + RAD + more stuff then how come I can't use a visual editor to create a GUI in RSA?

I've had this issue myself and I know that RSA does have a Visual Editor.
I work with it on my laptop, but when I installed it on my desktop recently I found no Visual Editor.

After a while I happened upon this: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21305500.
While this is v. 7 (I work with v.8) it worked just fine for me.

As this link (link being Coderanch) is one of the first one on the google search I thought I'd share what I found.

Sorry I couldn't help with that one some years earlier.
