Doc gen IDBs generating properties
« on: November 28, 2025, 02:22:21 am »
I have an issue where disabled 'Show Compartments' settings fail to apply consistently during Doc Gen.

When I generate a document with multiple Internal Block Diagrams (IBDs), the 'properties' compartment is being wrongly added to about half of them in the outputted document, corrupting the diagram layouts.

I'm hoping there's a simple configuration fix I've overlooked.

Edit:
1. I have created a Test document, with just the misfiring diagrams on it (added the 'Model Document' elements and used the same template), and they export correctly to the generated document - which makes me think the problem is configuration of the 'Model Document' block rather than the Diagram - wrong.
2. I have deleted and re-added the misfiring 'Model Document' elements, and the problem persists.
3. I have checked all the configuration settings I can find for the firing diagrams against the misfiring diagrams and can find no differences.
4. I have tried enabling and disabling all available Compartments from the 'Show Compartments' option on the diagram - interestingly the 'Properties' compartment was not an option

Edit 2 - and fix:
1. I wanted to recreate the diagram to see if that helped, and when I created another IBD in the same package as the misfiring IBD, the misfiring IBD suddenly updated itself to show the compartments that I had disabled (including in the options). I was then able to disable the compartments and save, and the subsequent doc gen did not include the misfire. Shame I have about 50 IBDs to recreate and save.
2. The fix works by just creating another IBD and then dropping the Elements onto it, this updates the bad diagrams.
