Child element diagram filter in RTF documentation?
« on: August 17, 2010, 08:00:36 pm »
When generating e.g. an Activity Graph, the diagram itself is generated together with its' parts. When generating RTF documentation of a package above this level, it seems hard to get the graph itself without its' parts in the documentation.

The way I'd like to solve it is that the users just moves the graph up on level - but they don't like that. So I've tried to find a way in the RTF Template to only show element children's diagram objects, but I can't seem to find a way.

Should I try instead to make a master document, that pulls information from an underlying template that only takes the Activity Graph from that level?

Sorry if this is hard to follow...  :-[

Thanks in advance

If I've understood correctly, I would be inclined to use a Master Document, with one model document for the elements to be reported and one model document for the diagram.  For the Diagram, I would filter on the parent element and use the diagram section within the RTF structure.  I find using parent "Context" elements very useful for this generally and getting around other problems filtering on particular diagrams where several might exist within a package, e.g.
