Filter diagrams during document generation

[ErikSc]

Hi all,

For our project we want to create documentation from EA. While generating the documentation, we’d like to filter which diagrams from a certain package are taken into account. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to put the diagrams in seperate packages.

For example, let’s say we have a single package X with 4 diagrams: A-1, A-2, B-1 and B-2:

Package X
     Diagram A-1
     Diagram A-2
     Diagram B-1
     Diagram B-2

In this example we only want diagrams A-1 and A-2 to be taken into account during the document generation. If the diagrams were elements we could use either an element filter in the user template or write an SQL-query in a fragment that searches for the elements. However, I cannot find any solution to filter diagrams, preferably by name.

We’d like to use virtual documents, so any solution outside of user templates or SQL-queries in fragments but within virtual documents are also welcome.

Does anybody know a solution on how to filter diagrams during document generation, preferably by name?

Thanks and best regards,
Erik

Erik,

You can't filter diagrams by name.
You can filter them by type, or by owner.

I think the best option is to put each diagram in a separate package, or under a separate element.
