Ordering of elements in RTF report.
« on: October 09, 2008, 06:53:20 pm »
Hi,

When generating an RTF document the elements are displayed in the order they are on the tree. That works for most of my cases, but when I have a diagram that has a subdiagram and maybe another subdiagram, some elements of the main diagram appear after the elements of the sub sub diagram. This makes reading the document kind of a puzzle.

I understand that it works this way, but I was wondering if it is possible to indicate that all elements of a diagram should be handled first befor going into a sub diagram.

I think an element of the main package shouldn't be listed in a child-package section...

I don't know how your template looks like, but you can make differences in representation of "child" packages and "child" diagrams. As well as element diagrams and package diagrams.

Did you play with these options?

Besides that. How are you generating your documents? Do you just right-click the desired package, or do you use a model document or even a master document? This could make a difference as well.

Hi Marcel,

I have a custom template that I use to generate the RTF report. I do not have a model document. I have played with the representation options but these do not give me control of which element is handled first.

What I want is that the renderer first goes through all elements at a certain level before diving in to the level of sub elements.
