Suggestions and Requests / Re: RTF Capable Notes Fields.

« on: September 29, 2005, 04:49:09 pm »

The meta-tags are interesting option but I see it adding a level of complexity to reading the notes fields within the application and also requires a custom processor to format the text.  :-/

As for dealing with RTF text within Automation, there is a couple of solutions:
1. EA provides a both a rtf and plain text interface to the notes.
or
2. Use RTF objects within your code to interpret the rtf notes and manipulate as you wish.

Cheers.

Suggestions and Requests / RTF Capable Notes Fields.

« on: September 28, 2005, 11:59:10 pm »

Hey Sparx!

Just thought I would throw this one into the ring.  

With the introduction of the RTF Document Generator I find myself thinking that the notes fields on all EA objects should support the RTF format.  I often find the need for Bolding, underlining and other simple formatting features etc in scenarios and longer descriptions.

It would allow my documents to that much more readable straight out of EA.

Anyway thanks for the great product. Hopefully you can help me out in one of the upcoming releases.

General Board / Re: How to print a use case text

Hi Urs,

Just open the use case model and use the RTF Documentation tool.  simplest way is F8 key but you can also get to it from the Project - Documentation menu.

Once there select the use case template and generate. This will give you the out of the box document but I would advise playing around with the the template manager to get the look and content you want.

Enjoy!

Google Spanish to English says.........

docCU is Add-In for Enterprise Architect in Spanish, who concerns the effort that demands the documentation of the cases of use to Enterprise Architect. Of this form, counting on a specification of cases of use and functional and not-functional requirements, docCU is in charge to transfer all that information and to model it suitably in Enterprise Architect, constituting a Specification of Requirements of Software. In order to know more detail it sees  the presentation file.

Seems to be a document to EA conversion tool.
