General Board / rtf export component associations

« on: August 25, 2010, 07:48:33 pm »

Hi,

I'm trying to create an rtf document that includes a table describing the associations for each component. In the template editor, I think this is included in the 'Connector'/'Target'/'Element' sections. If I include these, I do get details of all the associations which I want, but it also includes details of all collaborations defined through collaboration diagrams. Is there any way to filter this output so it only includes the associations in this table?

In my Components Properties dialog there is a 'links' tab which shows everything that is being output as part of the connector section. This includes the associations that I want to be displayed in the output and also a number of collaborations that are used in various sequence diagrams (one for each different message sent between a pair of components)

An example of the output I'm getting is

ComponentA
<Component description>
Associations
Component B - description of association
Component B - description of a message used in a collaboration diagram
Component B - description of another message used in a collaboration diagram
Component C - description of association
Component C - description of a message used in a collaboration diagram
...
I would like to filter this to only include the association details in the table.

Any help with this would be very much appreciated. Please ask if you need any more information.

General Board / Hide package prefix

« on: July 21, 2010, 07:24:24 pm »

Hi,

Is it possible to change the display behaviour of components in diagrams so that they only show the component name and not the package name (i.e. MyComponent instead of MyPackage::MyComponent)?

I need this for an overview diagram which uses boundary elements to visually group related components (so the package name is already on the diagram). The package structure is still needed - each package also has its own detailed diagrams. I've tried including the package directly in the overview diagram, but this just lists the components in it and I want a better graphical view of them.

Many thanks for any advice on how to achieve this.
