Diagram Details hide when publishing
« on: January 16, 2018, 10:14:03 pm »
Hi!

Is there an option or setting where I can show Diagram Details in Enterprise Architect but when I copy to clipboard or publish that I can hide the details?

I guess not. You could write a script that turns of the note, saves to file and restores the note.

Hi Eamonn,

We have forsaken the Diagram Details feature for the use of the Diagram Note Element.  We make it non-selectable and so it WON'T appear in the clipboard (unless we want it to by making it selectable).

It's been SO long since I use the Diagram Details that at first, I wasn't sure what you were talking about.   ::)

Are you saying that non-selectable elements are not printed? That'd be another EA-awkwardness.

Hi John

By default diagram details won't be selected if copied in clipboard.
But in document generation if you need to hide the details may be you should try what Qwerty suggested (Write a script that turns of the note, saves to file and restores the note. ).
