Setting up Cross References from Element to Diagram
« on: October 31, 2018, 03:15:34 am »
Hi!
In the documentation it is mentioned that we can set up Cross Reference we should be able to set a cross reference from an Element in a diagram to a Diagram in the project browser.

When I tried to do it, when I right-click the diagram in the project browser I don't have the option in the "Add Custom Reference". When the target is an element, everything is fine.

Did I miss something on the diagram side?

I can confirm, I don't see the option either. (Never used it before though, so I wouldn't know if it existed in a previous version)

Add custom reference is only available in the browser context (in V12).

And yet in the manual for V14 it says it is
https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/modeling_tools/crossreferences.html
Quote
In the Project Browser, right-click on the target element or diagram (the object of the cross reference) and select:
  • 'Add Custom Reference' (for a target diagram)
  • 'Add | Add Custom Reference' (for a target element)
The 'Set up references' dialog displays.
So perhaps thats a remnant from V12 manual.
Wonder why they took it out of V14 ?
Happy to help

There are more things they took out like the Embedded Elements context menu.

A lot of context commands have been moved to the ribbons. If there's anything you can't find in context menu or ribbon, it's probably worth a bug report.
