BTW – you can achieve a similar effect using EA Model Views. Just create a ‘favorites’ MV in Ea, and add the elements/diagrams/packages to it, then get eaDocX to print the MV. Useful if the diagram you would otherwise create is just a placeholder for ‘stuff’.
Obviously, if the diagram is useful, then this doesn’t apply…eadocX SupportParticipantNo. This is an error from either EA of Windows.
The idea of scripting was to let you create SMALL pieces of script for small bits of your documents which can’t be done in regular eaDocX. So, we don’t do performance testing of scripts.eadocX SupportParticipantThe scripting support allows you to create tables which use the paragraph styles of Word, NOT table styles. This is because (1) nobody has asked for it and (2) when I tried to code it, there are bugs in the Word HTML interface which mean it doesn’t accept Word TABLE styles which have spaces in them – which is basically all the built-in ones.
So there is no plan to include this in V4.eadocX SupportParticipantWhen eaDocX prints a glossary, it contains ONLY those terms which appear in the document (both the eaDocX-generated bits, and any hand-written bits). Stops the glossary form being too large, and containing terms which are not relevant in the document.
Does this help ?eadocX SupportParticipantso nothing complicated then..:-)
Would it be possible to email support@ with a sample of what you have in EA (suitably anonymised) and an idea of the document structure you’re aiming at?
All the items you mention above are, i admit, not well handled by eaDocX, for the simple reason that nobody has asked for them before. Frankly, I’m surprised you got as far as you have!
I’m right in the middle of doing eaDocX v4, so any new stuff won’t make it into that release, but I’m stacking up requests for 4.1 already.
I think Christmas is going to be cancelled this year…eadocX SupportParticipantAll of that test gets deleted and re-generated each time you re-generate the document.
Are you 100% sure that the change is in EA? There is all kinds of strange caching in EA, and eaDocX can only use what EA presents at the API.eadocX SupportParticipantCan you email me the query, a little bit of test data, and the expected result, and I’ll test it here.
eadocX SupportParticipantV4 eaXL won’t be provide general-purpose SQL access: so far, I can get it work reliably with EA Searches – no luck at all with pure SQL queries. So I think this is what we will ship with 4.0.
eadocX SupportParticipantGood news – your timing is excellent – I’m just staring to look at this for eaDocX v4.
Not-so-good news – I won’t be doing any more fixes for V3…eadocX SupportParticipantAre you doing this with Diagram Filters, or with the Feature and Compartment Visibility function ?
eadocX SupportParticipanteaDocX doesn’t support new kinds of Constraint.
I’ve added this to the backlog for V4.1+ as #161. Probably not available until Q2 2018eadocX SupportParticipantHow have you defined your Triggers and Outcomes ? As separate elements?
eadocX SupportParticipantI remember looking at this a few years ago, but the code doesn’t seem to have made it into the current release.
Did you do the filtering using EA Diagram Filters? I sort-of remember some other way of restricting class attributes in a class diagram, but I can’t find it in v13.eadocX SupportParticipantHi Dina,
You’re right that there is no sorting on related elements. eaDocX just gets the related elements, in whatever order EA returns them. I’ll have a think where you would specify what that sort order would be – name, Alias etc.
I’ve added it to backlog for v4.1 as #160.- This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by eadocX Support.
eadocX SupportParticipantI don’t think I have document this yet – I’ll add it to this list for V4.
The style of tag depends on what you are trying to link to:
– ¶BM,{aGuid},INLINE§ – is a bookmark, used or cross-references to headings. Probably a good idea to avoid this…– ¶OREF,{aGuid},NAME§ – will print the element name, with a hyperlink to it if the element is printed somewhere else in the document
There are lots of others, but they have never been tested when used from a script.
Good luck! -
