Is there a way of getting EA to include the descriptions / properties of elements that are included on diagrams, but located externally to the package where the RTF is being generated from?
Our repository has a re-use model and project model as shown:
- Re use model
- Re-use elements...
- Project model
- Project A
- Project B
- Project B diagram (includes Project B elements + re-use model elements)
- Project B elements
Each project will have a project view. New elements can be added under the project view for a project, but project staff can re-use elements from the re-use model (ie. a Login use case etc...).
When the project people go to generate their project documentation - they want a "complete" document - where every element used in a diagram is described - regardless of the package it is located in.
The problem we have is all new project elements get described (since they are contained within a package under the project) - however elements re-used from outside the project are not included.
I've tried using model documents - but that requires the author to know / find each external package to include. I'd like EA to be able to intelligently do a "deep" traversal on document generation
Can the above be done?
Thanks,
David.

Check the option "Document each contained elements in RTF" in Diagram Properties.

(Gee - you EA chaps have thought of everything haven't you!)
Thanks Alistair - exactly what I was after. Works like a charm! Appreciate the fast reply too (you guys have brilliant support)!
Can't believe I missed that setting.
Cheers,
David.
