We produce a number of different documents from the same architecture. A particular element may have one type of diagram that is only needed for a higher level architecture document, and another that is an elaboration not relevant until the document showing the next level of design. Currently I have to manually switch off each diagram of the wrong type in the preview window, and have to manually set the diagram order under each element in Enterprise Architect. If authors add additional diagrams after the template is set up they may be included in error.

It would be much more usable and less error-prone if the inline element profile specification could include a choice of diagram types (including stereotypes), rather than a simple “diagrams” attribute. (It will be our problem to make sure the architects always use the correct diagram type!).

Is this on the roadmap?

A simpler solution might be to allow a global exclusion of a diagram type/stereotype from the template. We will be using custom diagram types specific to the level of the architecture, so this would also enable us to achieve our required outputs.
