Including external elements in reports
« on: June 10, 2010, 05:41:47 pm »
Hi,

During my very first project in Enterprise Architect I encountered the following problem.

I have two packages: A and B.
B has one diagram: B.D.
Each package has one component: A.C and B.C, respectively.

The thing is that if I try to use A.C in B.D (by pasting element "as a Simple Link", "as instance of Element" or "as a New Child") and generate a rft document, the component does appear on the diagram but its description is not provided.

What I want to achieve is a list of tagged values for each and every element that appears on the diagram. Coping and pasting "as New" is an option but in case I modify an element the changes won't appear in the copies.

Any help will be appreciated.

Bye,
Andrzej

IN the RTF report template add the: Package | Diagram | Element - Section - but leave this blank to replicate the: Package | Element section. You can Set your Tagged Values using the Element field ValueOf() or using the TaggedValues Section.

That worked great! Thanks!
