Exported diagram has empty space
« on: January 04, 2014, 02:09:42 am »
When I export diagram (save as image) or during RTF documentation generation, picture with diagram has a blank (empty) space on the right.

This empty space was used before I reorganized the diagram, now it's unused and I would like to have exported picture without it.




How can I do that?

Do check (use ctrl-A select all) to ensure there is no element left in the white space.

PS what version?

There is no "leftovers" on the diagram (ctrl+a selected only visible elements).

Version 10.0 Build 1009 (but I have observed such behavior in v.9 too on different model)

I had the same issue once in a time. My solution: copy all the content, create a new diagram and paste it. Then use the new new diagram (delete old, rename the new). Extra work if you use the old diagram as reference somewhere since you need to create new references too.

I already did that. But it didn't help.

It appears that EA thinks the diagram contents are bigger than they actually are. There are a number of potential reasons - it could be font related, or it could be a specific element type that is being calculated incorrectly. Could you send a copy of your diagram to Sparx support for further investigation please?

Unfortunately I can't share it (employeer rules)

But I can describe what's on it.

It's BPMN 2, process diagram, with two separate swimlines. There is a bunch of activities in each swimline and there are message flows between activites from different swimlines.

Those swimlines have been bigger (longer in width) but I reorganized activities to free up some space, and then I made swimlines shorther. EA still thinks they are longer while exporting diagram to image.

I will create new diagram from scratch (not copy paste solution).

Couldn't you sanitize the diagram before sending it to Sparx?

They have an obfuscation tool. You might use that. Just ask support for a copy of it.

can remove names by myselef. I just don't want to have security audit and be a suspect of some internal security policy breach.

I can reproduce from the description above. I have passed this on to the person who will be investigating.

Ok great.... not great. But at least this bug is consistent. Looking forward to any answers :-)

Does Sparx has Jira (or any other issue tracker) where I can look at the state of that bug?

I also have the same problem - with BPMN diagrams, but also with other kinds of diagrams.
