Document Related->LInks->Elements
« on: November 19, 2014, 08:19:28 pm »
Hi everyone.
I have a Package (1) in which I have a Requirement element and below it a list of validating elements.

Then I have another package (2), also this containing a Requirement element, in its diagram I have dragged and dropped a Validating element created in the Requirement element of Package 1. I choosed  "Paste element into Diagram as Instance of Element - Copy Connectors".
In requirement element-> Related->Links i can see these that I have dropped and they have the same properties as those that I created specifically for this package.

Now I tried to generate a document out of package 2. I then have created a Package of type master document, in it I have a Model document which contains package 2. When I generate the document, it only lists the validating elements that I created specifically in Package 2 and not those that I have dragged and dropped.

I have also tried to add the validating elements as simple links with the same result.

I think I have tried almost everything in the document template. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you

Which document template are you using ? The default templates present the details of "package" elements - ie those elements contained within the package you are reporting upon.

If you want to present the details of all elements on a diagram within the package you are reporting upon you will need to create your own RTF template (I think ?)....Its quite easy, see the RTF Document Generation guide/webinars etc under resources:

Key thing is to add Package->Diagram->Diagram Element to your template...

Hi OpenItSolutions,

I'm working on a template I created myself but your tip with Package->Diagram->Diagram Element put me on the right path. I'll just need to play with it a little bit to get exactly what I'm after I think.

Thank you for the help.
