Elements Missing in RTF Docco
« on: July 12, 2004, 08:25:26 pm »
Hi,
when I create documentation using F8, all diagrams come out okay, however some of the items in the corresponding dictionary are missing. I've found this only happened once I start making changes to the diagrams, e.g. deleting some items in my Activity diagram.

From reading through other posts it seems there might be a few tricks with regards to the RTF documentation.

Any help anybody could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Jase.

Jase,
what do you mean by "intems in the corresponding dictionary"?

Hi Thomas,
I'm probably not using the correct terminology. I'm talking about all the text that accompanies a diagram when you create the documentation.

One of my Activity diagrams has say five (5) elements in the diagram, however when you view the text that accompanies the diagram (list of actors and their relationships etc.), which is found by scrolling down the documentation past the diagram, some of the elements that are in the diagram are missing from the text.

Hope this makes sense???

Cheers,
Jase.

Hi Jase,

The elements on a diagram are only documented below that diagram when you specifically enable an option in the Diagram Options.. dialog ("Document each contained element in RTF"). Otherwise the structure of the projectview is reflected in the RTF document, meaning that the packages are translated to chapters / paragraphs and that only the containing elements (including those diagrams) are reported.
