Linked Files in RTF Documentation

[Hans-Christian]

We use the EA (781) and wanted to create a RTF Export of our model. In the HTML Export the linked Files (here PDFs) are copied into the same directory but in the RTF Export you always can see the link to the (local) original path and the files were not be copied.

Are there any possibilities to have this feature also for RTF Documentation ?

Thanks in advance

hi hans-christian

first some concepts of EA are a little bit confusing : the name is not the feature !

- for instance, "linked files" are not "files which can be put in the RTF documentation" !

they just can be mentionned (their name put) in the RTF documentation

- the same for hyperlinks : they can't be inserted in the RTF documentation

If you need to insert some peace of RTF text, explore the "linked document" concept (pretty good till release 6.0 or better 6.1)

it can be an "internal" RTF document, ie a document typed into EA or an external one (for instance a RTF document stored somewhere in your directories)

for external document, you have to "import" them in the internal RTF editor ! not very simple but it works now

you can obtain "linked document" for element of the model only (it doesnt work for packages or diagrams, what a pity !) with right-clic > Linked Document or Ctrl-Alt-D

Hi Joel_Melan,
thanks for your answer. Sorry it seems my explanation was a little imprecise so it could be a misunderstanding.
I don´t want to copy some text parts from the linked document into the RTF-Documentation. My problem is that the whole linked document should be copied into the same directory where the RTF-Report will be created and the linke sould be adapted, like the HTML-Creater does.
So you have the possibility to copy this directory on a CD and give it to somebody and he can find all information he needs.
Do you have an idea to solve this problem ?

Thanks
