Screen Border as well as Page border
« on: September 17, 2009, 05:37:22 pm »
EA has a convenience option on each diagram in the Diagram Properties [F5]|Diagram tab: [X] Show Page Border.  This places a little guideline where the page boundaries will be on the diagram - allowing the user to layout the diagram more appropriately for the printed page.

We're increasingly seeing HTML Report output for our models and it would be great to have a Screen Border on the diagram to better aid the layout of the diagram for the HTML report.

The user would need to add the desired screen resolution (like they do for the page size) and EA would then draw similar guidelines to the page border showing the usable space with the default generation of the diagram onto the HTML report.  The border placement would have to take into account the sizes of the additional panes HTML report(which seems to be a fixed size on refresh).

So, in summary:
  • Need to add the ability to specify the output screen resolution for each diagram.
  • Need the ability to mark/unmark option to [  ] Show Screen Border per diagram
Thoughts?  Votes?

If there's support, I'll submit a formal request.

TIA,
Paolo

Yes!

This is yet another case where per-diagram options need to be provided (or enhanced).
No, you can't have it!
