Hello, folks.
I have a fairly detailed sequence diagram, which I intend to break down into several components and implement diagram references. However, initially I needed to capture a lengthy process up front for the big picture.
The biggest problem is that the sequence diagram is unreadable when generating RTF and HTML documentation, because the report generation tool understandably fits the seqence diagram graphic onto one page.
The EA version I'm using is 6.5.803. Is there any option that I hopefully overlooked that will instruct the report generator to do either of the following?
1. Split the sequence graphic over multiple pages.
or
2. For RTF, customize the page size to accommodate the sequence graphic at 100% view. For HTML, main a 100% view and enable horizontal & vertical scrollbars in the web browser for the web page corresponding to the sequence diagram graphic.
The sequence diagram's "Properties" page has a "Page Size" text field and an "Advanced" button for accessing various printer options. I manually typed in a custom page size in the format presented in the "Page Size" text field. For example, I typed in the following:
Custom, 14- by 17-inches
After clicking "Apply" the setting remained, so I clicked "OK". Unfortunately, after I reopened the properties page the default "Letter, 8 1/2- by 11-inches" reappeared.
Next I clicked on the "Advanced" button and navigated my way to the custom paper size printer option. Unfortunately, none of the alternate paper sizes are large enough, and I cannot enter my own custom paper size since I do not have administrator access for the network printer available to me.
Another issue involves notes applied to messages in the sequence diagram. Neither the RTF nor the HTML reports capture those notes. Perhaps I have missed something?
Thanks again to the community for your help.
Regards,
Anthony
