Diagram Elements not Appearing in Custom Document

[mvancleave]

Hello,

My organization has a custom document template that lists the element names in a diagram. This template works as intended for others in the organization, but does not for me. We tested this with the exact same content, and it was successful for another user, but not for me. I am thinking it is likely some setting or preference i changed somewhere, but have not been successful in figuring it out.

To troubleshoot, I created a very simple custom template:

Code: [Select]

package >
Package: {Pkg.Name}
diagram >
Diagram: {Diagram.Name}
element >
Element: {Element.Name}
< element
< diagram
< package
Dragging a package with a simple diagram to the custom document and using this template, the package name and diagram name populate, but nothing for the elements.

I have even gone so far as to uninstall and reinstall EA to hopefully reset whatever I may have done, but no luck.

Any thoughts on where I should look next?

Thanks in advance.

So, after much more searching, I found this post: https://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php?topic=39147.0

If I check "Add each contained element in Documentation" in the diagram properties, the elements show up in the document.

While that solves the problem, it begs the question of why it works for my coworkers *without* that box checked.

Closing the loop here (hopefully). It seems that I had a borked install of EA. IT uninstalled, cleared out registry/folders/etc., and reinstalled, and all seems fine.
