Scaling Diagrams in RTF Document

[Rollie]

I just upgraded from build 735 to 738.  Before my upgrade, if I would generate an RTF document, the diagrams would scale to fit within the output page.  Since I upgraded to 738, the diagrams are not scaling, and if printed, I only see the left portion of my diagrams because they are too large to fit on the page.  I tried setting the scale for the diagram using the Advanced button on the diagram's properties form, but it did not change the generated output.  Does anyone know how to get these diagrams to auto-scale again?  Thanks.

Same kind of problem: diagrams are smaller and the title is not clear (font too large for the size of the diagram).

I received a response from Sparx Support.  They have identified a difference in how Word 97 and Word 2000 handles image scaling in RTF.  They have developed a fix to this issue and are testing it out now.  It should be part of build 739 .

Yes, this bug is fixed in R. 739 and we use RTF documents as classic design for mainfrain developments.

When I went to build 739, scaling improved, but I still had some problems with large daigrams extending past my margins.  After trying numerous things and working with Sparx Support, I found that Word 2000 has a problem with scaling the RTF pictures when the screen resolution is greater than 1024x768.  Due to the graphic engineering tools that I support, I have mine at 1600x1400.   Apparently, the higher the resolution, the worse the problem.  I have done some searches, but have not found anything on this issue.  Has anyone encountered this and found a way to keep screen resolution high, and yet get a good EA RTF import into Word?

I am having the same problem.  I run my system at 2048 x 1536, and have nothing but problems with the font size in diagrams output into RTF docs.

I am running Windows 2000 Pro, SP4 and Word 2002.

Has there been any workaround to the problem found yet?
