Title: RTF (template)Document Generation+realized element
Post by: adamg on January 20, 2006, 07:12:13 am

How-to include in the RTF a realized element?

concrete problem:
I have a package for the GUI model
on the same level, there is a package for the UC model

The screens are realizing the UC's
realization
source: UC 148 target: SCR 149
under the UC 148 there are some activity and sequence diagrams

Now I'd like to have a docu from the model which looks like:

UC model package
- UC 148
 - notes+scenario+constraints
 - activity diagram+notes
 - sequence diagram+notes
 - screen diagram

up to the sequence diagram everything is OK, the screen I cannot get.

please help

Or, in one sentence: how to create a complete UseCase documentation when the related GUI model is also there.

One more good question is how to create a nice table for source and target elements, like this:

source name	source type	type	target name	target type
UC 149	UseCase	realization	SCR 148	Screen
...	...	...	...	...

This one I managed from the (basic) template, althought copy+paste is not working for that.

worst case idea:
- generate a doc for each UC
- create a Word doc for each UC, where the above generated doc and the screen diagram picture is linked in
- generate a doc for the UC diagram(s) -- for the package, just to have the diagrams
- create a Word doc for the package where the generated package doc and each UC word doc is linked in
??? but that fails on the first step, how-to "generate a doc for each UC"???

hi adamg !

in order to have a UC with its notes, constraints and scenarios, followed by some diagrams in the good order, the best way I've found is to put all the complemnetary diagrams as "child diagrams".

then all the "child diagrams" can be sorted the order you want with the thumbs of the project browser (Ctrl-up arrow or Ctrl-Down arrow)

To force diagrams to become child diagrams of an element of the model (a UC for instance) just drag and drop it from the project browser ON the model element

You' ll got a "+" on left of the model element and tabbed to the right the child diagrams


2/ if your problem is how to create a screen diagram? i need some precisions in order to help you : do you want to have a hard-copy of the layout ogf the screen ?
