baseline diagram comparison
« on: September 28, 2012, 09:44:50 pm »
Hello,

According to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBzMksQ7gUc
and the history of the build 920 (http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/9.2/history.html#920), i supposed it was possible to make a visual comparison between the current diagram and the baselined version.

But when i do the test exactly like in the video, it says always "No differences found, Diagram matches the Baseline".

Moreover, at the bottom of this page http://www.sparxsystems.com/resources/diff/, it is said "Diagram compare is currently not supported"!!!

So what's true? Is it possible or not?

Hrmmm - I wouldn't touch baseline merge/comparison with a hay fork. It reports differences where there are none and (obviously) does not find differences where there are actually some. The situation has improved over the years but for me it's still insufficient.

You might file a bug report via the link at the bottom of the pay.

I found the solution   :)

When i selected the diagram and did "compare to baseline", it was a button "options", but it was grayed. So i have not been able to change the options. And the problem was here!

These options can be changed by selecting a package and doing "manage baselines". The option "suppress diagrams" was checked and it was my problem...

Glad you found it. Hope you don't run in the problem I described. Sometimes it seems to be just me to attract all those lousy issues.
