General Board / MS Word comparison function

« on: June 22, 2012, 09:20:20 am »

I use EA to generate a documentation. RTF files are saved as docx.
Document versions (docx files) are shared for team members.
When I create a new document version I compare it with an older version using MS Word function.
MS Word marks changed text as red. But I have problems with diagrams.
All diagrams are marked as changed.
Have you any idea? Do you use any other method to show differences?

I cannot change the diagram for existing 'parent activity'.
I move diagram to other package and the diagram is still linked.

Paulus, thanks.

The most important sentence is:
"don't use diagrams directly as EA is centered around (model) elements, diagrams serve 'only' as a convenient way to visualize relations between model elements"

I should change my whole project (its structure), but I'm too far.
I use automatic generation of documentation, many versions were created.
Developers will kill me when I change documentation layout, numbers of sections ...
I must think about it.

One more question:
Can I change diagram linked with activity (as "subdiagram")?

General Board / Activity diagram - traceability

« on: June 22, 2012, 04:09:10 am »

Hello
I create some diagrams:
- one activity diagram with common actions (AD1)
- other activity diagrams

I want to use AD1 on these diagrams. I drop AD1 on the diagrams as hyperlink.

Now ... how to find all diagrams linked with Ad1?

Maybe I use wrong method? :-/
Can You help me?
