The challenge with documenting the contents of a diagram is ‘how to decide the order of printing’? When eaDocX asks EA for the contents of a diagram, we get back a flat list of elements. eaDocX will group similar-formatting elements together, and print them in order of Element type, but we can’t go much beyond that: we just don’t know any more. Printing from diagrams works well when the diagrams are either in a section by themselves or when they live in a package with no other element: stops too many duplicates from printing.
You have some alternatives:
1 – Document Package B, which will print elements 3,4,5,6 , then specifically exclude element4
– not sure how you can tell eaDocX to print only those elements which relate to these, which are just the ones which are in a specific package: you can restrict by the type of element, and the type of connection, which is the more normal way to do things. Even if eaDocX could do this, it would be a very fragile way to model.
2- create an EA Model View, and put your elements into that, and print the Model View in its own section.
