Deployment Diagrams - repost in correct forum

[AndrewW]

I’m new to EA, so hopefully there is a simple answer to this and I’m just being silly.
I am trying to create a deployment diagram which shows our entire environment and all the communications (relationships)  between the nodes for each of our applications and actors.


I understand that this diagram will be huge and unreadable; however this would be the master diagram.

The above part looks fairly easy

The part I am having difficulty with is the next section.

I plan to set up individual diagrams for each of the applications, and then by placing the actor for the application on the diagram I am looking for EA to automatically draw this diagram based on the master diagram.

I had considered using Tagged values, but I can’t find a way to draw a based on tagged values in nodes.

I have also looked at relationships (with add relationships), however although this worked to a degree, all the relationships for all applications are followed and not just the one for the application of choice. Additionally the number of levels to follow is limited to 5, so not all the nodes are included.  I could net find a way to set a tag on the relation ships so I could say follow relationships for this app only

The above is the part I am having real difficulty with, However I have also discovered that alternate images appear to be dependant on the diagram and not the node, as the alternate images being set in the master diagram are not shown on the individual app diagrams

Any help would be appreciated
