Document Generation - Fragment in Diagram Element section
« on: March 03, 2017, 03:11:41 am »
Hello,

To able to deal with the AS-IS and TO-BE architecture, we wanted the TO-BE in some diagrams stacked at the same place in the project browser, while the objects shown in these diagrams are elsewhere in the project browser. To be able to do that and generate a document showing all of our changes and the TO-BE architecture, we used a trick to call fragment from the "Diagram Element" section like you can see here :



We have some down side of using this, but this is highly manageable compared to the benefits we have by doing this. Since calling Fragment from "Diagram Element" section seems to be disabled, I want to know if its a bug or its a feature. Then, I want to know if I should do a feature request so our template will be forward compatible with the next version of EA.

We are using EA 12.1229 at the moment.

Thanks for your help,

Janic

Yes, I observed this with some frustration.
I'd suggest that it is an 'omission', and recommend you submit a feature request
