Diagram export via SDK

[Paul Stovell]

Hi,

I want to extend the documentation generator to make use of Word 2007 formats from EA. I'm using the Sparx .NET API's to query the .EAP, but I cannot find a way to export the diagram images programmatically.

Is there a way to programmatically export a diagram image using the API's (the "SDK for Enterprise Architect - Enterprise Architect Object Model" topic under help)?

Hi Paul,

There are a few methods in the Project Interface that allow you to export images. If you have the latest build (846) then please check the scripting example VBScript - Project Interface Example.

If you don't have 846, the main idea is something like this:

Code: [Select]

dim currentPackage as EA.Package
set currentPackage = Repository.GetTreeSelectedPackage()

dim projectInterface as EA.Project
set projectInterface = Repository.GetProjectInterface()

dim currentDiagram as EA.Diagram
for each currentDiagram in currentPackage.Diagrams
      
      ' Open the diagram
      Repository.OpenDiagram( currentDiagram.DiagramID )
            
      ' Save and close the diagram
      Session.Output( "Saving " & currentDiagram.Name )
      projectInterface.SaveDiagramImageToFile "c:\\temp\\" + currentDiagram.Name + ".emf"
      Repository.CloseDiagram( currentDiagram.DiagramID )
