EA Copy / Paste Issue
« on: April 27, 2012, 04:33:55 pm »
I'm having issues copying diagram elements and pasting into other programs (Paint, MS Office, etc)

For diagrams with more elements, a number of the elements show up as blank rectangles (I have them all set as stereotyped classes with stereotype level appearence overide)



I've tried changing Tools > Options > Diagram > Image Memory Limit to 512mb (max) and it makes no difference.

I don't want to resort to just using Print-Screen as it results in lost functionality (pasting into MS Office then allows you to edit / delete / add to the diagram)

Any insight would be much appreciated  :)

Update... it seems like number of elements is not a factor, but rather any items below a certain point vertically will not show correctly!

I still need to find a resolution to this because I consistently have diagrams this size or bigger.

Sounds strange. You should contact Sparx support!

I've seen it before.

As far as we could tell, it was a limitation of the metafile format that it couldn't handle embedded images after a certain point was reached.
