RTF problems
« on: November 11, 2010, 06:19:33 am »
Hello, is it possible to create rtf template in the way, that I can obtain names of all elements connected to any specified element? If I choos direction "Both" it generate the name of the specified element too. But I need only names of elements, that are targets and sources for the specified element. Is it posiible? Thanks.

nada,
         After the start of the element tag ("element >"), right click and choose Insert Field.  This will give you a selection of element fields you can insert, including Name.

yes, it is OK. But I need to report this situation:
I have element A, element B that is source for element A and element C that is target of element A. I need report both elements connected to element A. But the name of element A is not intended. If I choose Target to Source in the template A, B are reported, if Source to Target, A, C are reported and if I choose Both A, B, C are reported (but I need only B, C). Or do I do something wrong?
Thank you.

Nada,
          You are exactly right.  I`ve had the same problem.  This needs to be fixed in the next build of EA.

OK, Thank you. And when do you expect the problem will be solved and update available?

I have another problem. If I need use command Connectro in RTF template I can use it only once in one template. Is it true? I need to report this situation:
- I have element A
- I have elements B, C, D that areconnected to A
- I need to report in first row of generated table only element, that has name of connection "name1"
- I need to report in second row of generated table only element, that have same name of connection "name 2"

The similar situation is with command Element-Resources. Here I need to report name of resource of element connected to element A (for with I do reporting) in one row of table and for example Started date of connected element in another row of table.

Are theese bugs or are theese needs possible to do in rtf template?
Thank you very much!

nada,
          I am just another user. . . . So, it would be good to send Sparx a feature request for these.

     I believe both are new feature requests, not bugs.
