Had a look at this: disproportionately hard.
Making the list distinct across a single connector is OK: across many is hard, and quite disruptive: I’d have a to change a LOT of stuff to get this to work.
So for now, I’m not able to do this…sorry

How did you get the groovy connector lines with arrows in the middle?

[eadocX Support]

can you email a little XMI with some example data, and an idea of what you’d want eaDocX to produce, and under what circumstances?

Hi Robyn,
If you add a Relationship Table for each class, and specify RelationshipType=Any, Direction = either and ‘To Element Type’ = Any, then you can print the Name of the ‘thing’ at the end of the relationship, and the relationship type.

Answer to Jeff’s questions:
1 – The sorting uses the same sort process as the rest of eaDocX; it would be too disruptive to give it it’s own special one, where you can effectively sort the results in any order. Remember this has to work multi-language as well!

2 – FYI, sort data is held in the Profile in same way as all other element types: a single attribute is flagged as ‘use for sorting’ and a simple ‘A-Z’ or ‘Z-A’ flag: if you save the profile, this should be fairly obvious

3 – As I mentioned above, specifying no sort order means eaDocX will print the Roles in whatever order EA returns them, when it navigates the link from the Document Element to the People elements

If it helps, you may change the name of the roles in Application Settings: Document Management Default settings. You might choose alternative words for ‘Approver’ etc whichi sort in the way you want e.g. ‘1 -myRoleA’, 2 – myRoleB’ etc. This is to allow for non-English languages, but you could use for this as well.

Sorting the items in the EA Package will have no effect.
eaDocX discovers which roles are linked to the document each time the document is re-generated, so sequence in the package is irrelevant. Hence the need to sort once we’ve found the list of roles. If you don’t specify a sort column, eaDocX will just print the roles in the order that they come out of EA, which is pseudo-random.

Please see the reply in the posting:

Sadly, nothing has changed. We’ll see if there is any new support in EA V11, but I’m not hopeful.
Assume for a moment that Sparx provided an API for eaDocX to get the diagram in smaller pieces, how would you like eaDocX to print the pieces? So if your diagram is 3 pages wide and 2 pages long, should eaDocX just print each page, on after another, with a figure number on the last eaDocX page ?

With my Business Analyst hat on, I would still recommend that whilst big diagrams might help to BA to check that the end-to-end process/class model etc is OK, it less helpful to the reader, who probably wants to think about the problem in smaller pieces. So I always suggest that BAs create more & smaller diagrams.
..none of which solves your problem…!

Looks like you may have Change Marking enabled. That’s the only thing which shades-in diagrams. Try under Options and Settings, Options for this document, Change Mark Settings, and make sure it says Change marking enabled = false

No reason this wasn’t done. Done it now. fixed in 3.3.11.1, now available.
Just sort the Document Role as you would any other element.

Found it! fixed in 3.3.11.1, now available

I think I may have found the problem.
I just added some new function to allow you to choose which Word document template to use when creating a new document, and this changes the menu options which are available on the ‘eaDocX’ main menu. This uses some environment variables on the machine, and it looks like there’s more which can go wrong than I thought. I’ve made it ‘safe’, so I think this should go away.
Fixed in (release to be added)

Thanks for this – I think I’ve found my mistake – slightly different HTML generation for the two different cases. Same was true for tables of Attributes & methods. Now fixed, and will be in next maintenance update later this week.
I will update this with the exact version number.

Heather,
This should be enough for me to have a look at.

[eadocX Support]

Can you switch on the eaDocX Trace, so that you can then send me any errors which are logged there ?
