Any help on RTF???


Ditto!  Not having much luck actually editing a new template.  Any pointers or help would be appreciated.  I'll also keep messing with it.  If I figure something out, I'll post it.

If I use the Manage My  Profile link from the Start Page, the Custom Configuration is disabled.  Is that true for others?

No issue for me.  Do you have an open model?  I did notice this only works if you open a model first (even though the settings are not really model specific).

Here is a new feature listed in the 5.0 release:


Does anyone know how to make this work?  I've noticed I can now set the colors in the Status Types configuration screen.  I've also discovered that this same screen is where I specify which types of elements to apply the colors to.

But I tried checking the "Class" checkbox under the "Applies to..." button and it didn't seem to do anything.

What am I missing?  I am using version 5.00.762 (Build:762).


With classes, it just changes the colour of the shadow of the diagram object - very subtle, easy to miss unless you pick bright colours.

You should find it in the help file at "Creating Documents" | "RTF Documents".

And from there the help on the template editor "RTF Templates Dialog".

Check out the new Instance Classifier dialog...

There's some interesting additions ???

Anybody know what's going on here?

I can't see any differences from 4.51 to 5.0.  Unless you've found a different dialog from what I'm thinking.  (Set Instance Classifier from context menu of object)

Love the new baseline functionality!

....

Anyone now if I can generate a difference report from here?  I can't find one for looking!

Not as yet, but it sounds like a good idea.

Firstly, for objects without the status bar, the status is displayed with the shadow.  If you don't have shadows on then you can't display it.

It looks like at the moment the current diagram is not refreshed properly.  We'll get that sorted out though.

The list of choices appears to be significantly different...  Many more choices - I'm writing from home from memory.  I'll update this when I get to work...

OK... The problem was in Beta1, seems fixed in Beta3... (762):-X
