Sequence diagram's message elements / RTF

[tanja]

I have a custom RTF template that I have been using for over 5 years - the last successful usage was with EA 7.5 last week. All on Windows 7, 32 bit, MS Office 2007 (but this doesn't matter, I think).

Last week I installed EA 9 (908), the same RTF template does not produce the same result, as follows:

The from/to elements of the message under sequence diagram (DiagramMsgs.FromElement and DiagramMsgs.ToElement) produce simply empty strings, even if lifelines are all named.

I am using component classifiers (not instances) for lifelines, dropping them from the project browser onto sequence diagram (I mean, these were created that way in the model long time ago).

In report generation options tab, I have no disabled connectors.

This must be some new option somewhere, I just cannot find it.

Any hint much appreciated!

I resolved the problem and wanted to share: you need to do the .EAP file repair.

Here is how:
- launch EA (but not by double-clicking on your target .eap file)
- from the menu, select Tools -> Data management -> Manage *.EAP file -> Repair *.EAP file
