Diagram Pagination

[flyingrobots]

It would be nice if the documentation functionality would divide the diagrams in a model by the page settings specified for a diagram.

In other words, diagrams that cover multiple pages are currently made into one diagram and scaled to fit a portion of the 8.5x11 page rather than make multiple pages out of the diagram.

It makes it hard to read sometimes.

Thanks

Have you looked at the "Fit to 1 page" option for the diagram?  (I haven't tried this - just throwing an idea)

That's just it, I don't want to fit it to one page.  I want it to be multiple pages.  When creating RTF documentation a multiple page diagram will be fit on one page and it shrinks everything.  It makes it hard when it does that, can't read it...

Hi,

If you want  an image to span multiple pages in an RTF document, then I don't think either WordPad or Word can do that.

It'll automatically scale it to fit on one page; at least in my experience.  Have  you been able to do this in an RTF document with any other image, from any other software?

If I need an RTF document as a deliverable, I ensure that the diagram elements fit within the portrait or landscape page boundaries, and ensure that the text size is large enough to read.  I also minimize the space between elements (e.g. connector length) to ensure that things fit.

Lastly, I choose EMF format for the diagram so that when the user zooms in (in Word), the text becomes more and more legible as you zoom closer.

HTH,
Gary

flyingrobots,
you probably should think of buying a printer for A3 format (or lager) if you need it for wall papers. Making different smaller A4 (or Letter) diagrams makes more sense.
