RTF Connector issue

[Jonas Öster]

I have created a generic template for generation on Use Case objects. A Use Case normally traces to a feature (source of a trace) and from other requirements (Target of a trace). Off course I want to include information about those elements that my Use Case is tracing to/from. However, when using the Connector Source/Target functionality in the RTF generator I also get my UC included in the corresponding description which I am not interested in. How can I get only the information about the traced objects, not the UC itself? Note that I need traces in both directions (Source and target).

The generic functionality seems to be including both directions of a trace, hence I get the UC twice if I have one trace-to and one trace-from dependency. I could use the "Connector Direction" functionality in the Document Options but that excludes one direction completely hence am I missing out on traced elements.

Any Ideas, anybody? thanks /Jonas

Rather than use a trace relationship, use a UML::Realization relationship, then in the RTF generator check "External Requirements" and uncheck the Connector checkboxes and you will have a list of all requirements that this Use Case realises.

Works for any element, not just Use Cases

Thanks a lot!

Not only did this answer my question but I also learned how the "External Requirements" check-box works, which was going to be my next question on this forum.
