Including images in package import / export

[babdev]

Hi

I've just tried to import a package structure from a local EA file into our main EA (SQL Server hosted) repository and found that the import didn't include images that we have used in some of our diagrams. I now realise that images aren't included in exports but have found that it is possible to export images separately using the export reference data option. I was hopeful that when I had imported the images that EA would join the dots and show the images in the diagrams, but although the xml for the diagram includes the same image ids as the ids of the images that were imported, the images are not shown.

Any ideas why the images are not shown in the diagrams? I have also tried reversing the order of the imports, i.e. import the reference data first and then the package, but that did not improve the outcome.

We are using EA version 13.0.1307.

Thanks

Hi

Please check whether you've enabled Export Alternate Image options in specifications of XML.




Also please make sure manually the image which you're looking for is available in the Image Manager after importing from reference Data.

Yes, that worked.

Didn't need to export the images using the reference data option with Export Alternate Images option selected.

Thanks for your help with this
