Filtering in documentation.
« on: April 28, 2008, 06:51:16 pm »
Hello, all

While making documentation i've faced with some problems.
When I make documentation it is possible to filter objects to exclude objects that i don't want to be in document (it's cool !!!), but it seems that this is not enough. When I make a table with object relations (links) i prefer that only links with one type shown there. But it seems that EA goes though all object links and this become a problem. When I expect to document only "tracing" links, and EA puts all (control flow and others) into documentation.

It seems that this is a restriction of EA RTF document generator.
Are there any workarounds of doing this, or maybe i'm doing something wrong?

I'm really appreciate for any help or suggestions.
Thanks in advance. :)

Hi,

Basically you have two options:
1. You use the built-in documentation tool of EA and you learn to live with its limitations. (meaning you manually have to edit your document to make it look finished)
2. You build youre own addin to create documentation. This really isn't that hard. There is an example addin available for download from this website. If you know a little bit of VBA you should be able to create a documentation tool within a few days.
