Exclude Image from RTF Documents

Select this checkbox to exclude the image of this diagram from any document reports.

Document Each Contained Element in RTF

Select this checkbox to include, in the report, details of any elements that belong in other (external) Packages but that form part of this diagram within the Package being reported on; the report includes external elements in each diagram on which you have selected the checkbox.

On the 'Generate Documentation' dialog, the 'Include all Diagram Elements in Report' checkbox defaults to selected to include external elements for every diagram checked by the report; therefore, to include external elements only for specific diagrams, deselect that checkbox.

In either case, you must enable the Package.Diagram.Element and Package.Element sections in your (customized) document generation templates in order to include this external element information in the report.
