Title: SysML diagram images have their parent's contents - why ?
Post by: Ian Mitchell on December 02, 2020, 03:35:31 am
I have a client who is using SysML (because they are smarter than me) and they are wondering why, when they copy/paste a SysML diagram (in our example, a SysML 'Use Case Diagram') they get some strange stuff at the top left of the diagram.
It is a list, with icons, of the contents of the parent package of the diagram.
This doesn't appear in the diagram in EA, only in the exported image.
Is this a SysML thing, which is required part of that language, or a strange EA thing, or some magical setting I haven't found yet ?
Update - I'm using 15.2, but my client is still using 15.0, and says the behaviour there is as expected. @Sparx - did anything change from 15.0 to 15.2 in this area?

c'mon you lovely people - please reassure me (and my client) that we're not going mad.

Sorry I can't help. I've never experienced, or even heard of a similar problem.

But then again, I don't use SysML

I did some tests with 15.2 but don't see it. Maybe you can be more specific. How did you copy the diagram (shallow/deep/smart), and how dit you export the image?
