CTRL-B diagram with huge margins
« on: September 02, 2014, 05:01:06 pm »
Hi,

another strange problem. I've created small diagram and it fits A4 page. I want to paste it to Word document, but copied to clipboard image has huge margin at right side. Is there a place where I can configure how this image should look like?
File saved to disk has same problem.
Diagram in generated document is ok.
Issue isn't urgent but annoying.

Kind regards,
Wojtek

That seems to be an unsolved problem still. The only way to overcome that is to create an empty diagram, select/copy all elements on the buggy diagram and paste them to the new diagram. You might need to layout connectors once again. Also you might find invisible elements (watch the pan/zoom window) while selecting which you could simply remove to make the diagram smaller (in that case you won't need a new diagram ;)).

It looks like that EA keep maximum space that diagram ever use. If I "compress" diagram space used by diagram isn't updated. Am I right?

Kind regards,
Wojtek

No. Or at least it should not. There seems to be a bug in some diagrams where EA does not shrink it to the bounds of the used elements. There has been a thread dealing with that issue. But normally you can get around it by applying above steps.

I have seen this problem, but not in EA 11, what version are you using?
Orthogonality rules
Position and Team disestablished, thanks austerity.
