EA V8.0 - Doc Generation

[Geert Bellekens]

I think i have a pretty good idea as to why these issues came about in v8.
They are probably related to the way Package.Elements has been changed in V8. See this topic.

I have now experienced this issue as well related to document artifacts, some don't seem to get pulled into the generated document any more !

I investigated a bit further and what I've found is pretty sinister.   I have document elements on diagrams that work correctly in the sense that the are displayed on the diagram, you can click on them to modify properties and linked docs can be edited,  however they do not exist any more in the project browser !!!   Whcih is why they don't get pulled into the generated rtf !

"Find in browser" just doesn't find them.   Attempting a project integrity check doesn't find any issues.  All of this is v8 and very worrying.

How do I get an element that exists on a diagram (or multiple diagrams) and can be found in Model Search (but not in Find in Project Browser) back into the project browser ?

Ah, must be related to the lazy loading issue(s) with the project browser.
Just to be sure, are you working on v8.856? Because they claim to have fixed those issues in the latest build.

Hi Graham,

Reopen the repository afresh.

Search for one of those mysterious elements in the browser (shouldn't be found).

Select the element on a diagram.  Use [Alt+G] to find it in the browser.

Re-search the browser - now it should find it and therefore it's most likely related to the Lazy Load as Geert said.

HTH,
Paolo

Paolo - that helps a lot thank you.  Huge sigh of relief.  The elements are back where they should be.  This is still build 855.  I have 856 downloaded but not installed - I think I'll do that right now !

I'm generating a document for the first time in EA 856, targeted for Word (2003).

None of the bulleted or numbered lines from notes show in the document.
The style for these lines is "11 pt, Left: 0cm; Hanging: 0.63 cm, After: 0.05 pt" for both bulleted and numbered.

Is this a general problem?
If not can anyone suggest where to look / fix it.

A related question is: why does EA force formatting in documents instead of relying on the styles (from normal.rtf)?

PS I edited every one of the notes fields and toggled the bulletted/numbered lines to ensure they had been created by the current build.
