including model document in > 1 master document
« on: February 18, 2009, 08:43:59 pm »
Hi.
I have created several model document to create one document with the specification (from entity data model , user interface and so) over each functional requirement i have implemented.
The question is that is there any way to include all of these model document in other master document which will include all the functional requierementes under a domain in one only document.
As an alternate, could i include several master document (one per functional requirement) into other domain level master document?

Thanks

No that I know of. As the master document is a package its ModelDocument elements are physically attached in the model and the RTF generator traverses each.

What you can do is to create a package which includes artifacts and link that pacakge with several ModelDocuments but I am almost certain that this does not help you.

Thanks Oliver.

That's what i was thinking about.

So, in this situation in which i will need to rearrange the same components in several ways (each per document i would to generate), i think i will neccesary have to replicate all my modeldocuments and the easiest way is to copy diagram (Documentation Diagram) in "deep" mode, isn't it?

Thanks and regards.

Apparently yes.
But I have also not tried working with instances of model documents. That could be an option though I doubt that it works. In this case it would be interesting to see whether instances of model documents are processed inside a master document.
If yes then we have the solution, if no, then nothing is lost (and neither won :) )

I have tried what you comment before writing my post :D. I have tried also creating child elements from the document models... does not works  :'(

At the moment i will work by replicating elementsl.

I will post any good news about that, hope there's a very good one :D

Thanks for the suport.

In terms of the nesting of Model Documents, that is not currently supported, however Elements (model Document Elements) can be "Copied" to other packages (Master Documents):
Select multiple Elements in a diagram:
 - Edit | Copy
 - Go to a new package/diagram
 - Edit | Paste Elements | As New
(Note: 841 - it doesn't work for a single selection - but I have submitted a bug report)
