How to include "Use Case Links" in docum
« on: July 19, 2006, 04:49:31 am »
In v 5.00.769, how do I include 'Defined Associations' displayed in the Links tab of a Use Case when I generate  a documentation? The only solution seems to be to use the 'Connector' and 'Source' and 'Target' checkboxes. However, the outcome of this is a real mess and I hope there is a much more elegant way. Is there?

You should upgrade to the latest build and see if your problem still exists. If so, what template are you using, <basic> or your own one?

Well, I am using the 'newer' version generator which does not work with templates. Templates get involved in the 'Legacy generator' I believe. Anyway could you explain me your point? We might get to some ideas. Thanx for your time!

I'm using the "Generate RTF-Documentation" - option quite often. I created some RFT-Documentation templates for my needs. The RFT-Generator is a bit queer as you can see at other threads in this forum, but it works.

I reinterpret my quesiton here a bit: say you have a use case on a diagram which, in another diagram, is linked to an object (eg a screen) via a Realize association. You can see this relationship when you double click this uc and then click the Link tab. How you get your RTF Generator to include this relationship in a documentation?

I generated a document with the basic template and I can't detect any problems. All associations (to actors) and realizations (to requirements, from packages and from other usecases) were listed in the connections-table.

Have you excluded any elements in the generator options frame?
