Exported diagram has empty space

[qwerty]

Now that the cause is know a fix *should* be around the corner...

q.

Read up the thread a little... The cause was already known, it was fixed in version 11.

Until it broke up again in V15.

Any update on this bug 15.1 still has this problem after all these years.

The situations that I know about have been corrected, in short it will happen whenever any item on the diagram reports that it takes up more space than it does. It's hard to diagnose your problem without seeing the actual diagram. I'd recommend that you send in a sample diagram using the support form in the page footer so that we can help you properly.

A similar thing happens when you show a diagram embedded in another diagram (the workaround to allow the same element to be shown twice on the same diagram). The diagram editor won't allow you to shrink the diagram, leaving a lot of white space in the embedded diagram.

For this scenario, there is a workaround.

The diagram becomes small when you do the following:
1) Open diagram properties
2) Select "Connectors" tab
3) Uncheck "Show Stereotypes Labels"

For some reason the system thinks it needs to reserve space for these labels, even when these are not rendered!

I assume the same logic is used for calculating the diagram size when generating the diagram in document.
