    I have made 1.3.7.5 available, which I think fixes this issue.

    Good question!
    The first requirement we had for eaDocX – 13 years ago – was to make documents consistent, so that a use case in one part of a document looked just like a use case somewhere else.
    Only later did we understand that sometimes this is not quite enough, so then we allowed different profiles for different stereotypes of elements, which is what we have now. So if your use cases have different stereotypes, then that’s easy.
    If you need use cases of the same stereotype to have a different appearances in the same document, you can do this by printing some of the use cases as Element Reports. Each Element Report can have its own profiles, so you can then, for example, have a short form of a use case in one place in the document, then a set of element reports elsewhere with more details.
    All this is described in the help – just look into inserting element reports.
    If you have any more questions, please add this post.
    Thanks

    I’m not in the office at the moment, so I can’t look at this until later this month. I thought I fixed it in 1.3.7.4, but it looks like it still has some issues.
    I will update this post when I have created a fix.

    I have not looked into the ‘print a model view’ use case for quite a while. In fact, I can’t find the test case in the latest release.
    I’ll have a look and get back to you

    This looks like an error from EA, so I have no way to investigate this.
    I suggest you submit a support request to Sparx at https://sparxsystems.com/support/forms/bug_report.html
    Sorry I can’t be of more help

    Please can you install the latest version, and try this again. Beta 1.1.2 is quite an old version.
    Thanks

    Are you using 32 or 64 bit EA?

    I think this issue arrived with v 1.3.7.3, and was fixed in 1.3.7.5.
    Please can you re-test with the latest verison ?
    Thanks

    Change of plan.
    I have spent a few days looking into re-implementing Scripting into eaDocX, but it is not possible.
    The mechanism we used to use to do this used a 32-bit Microsoft Script Control, which does not work with 64 bit EA.
    Sparx have confirmed this as an issue, but there is not out-of-the box fix.
    I investigated a third-party solution, but it was very unreliable.
    So sadly, there is no solution to this issue.
    Sorry

    Hi Paul,
    No way will this ever be fixed using the main functions of eaDocX. Everything works using an (element type + element stereotype) combination, so the whole thing would explode.
    But don’t dispair.
    There was a feature in v5 which uses little bits of script to basically do anything: print any bit of a Word document, ijn any style, using any bit of EA data, and using any rules you can think of. I have not yet put this into eaTeamWorks (nobody needed it until now) but as you have asked so nicely, I’ll find the code and put it back.
    I will also use your example of a secondary stereotype of a <>Class as a test case.
    But will take a few days to implement, so go on your holidays, and it will be ready when you get back.

    I think the left/right justifications of headings are part of the Word paragraph style defintion. Can you check that this is set correctly for your H1 style?

    Fixed in verion 1.3.7.1, now on the website.
    See separate note.

    We know that the eaTeamWorks installer tries to install un-signed DLLs, which is a problem in some environments.
    This has been on the backlog for some time, and increasing a problem, so we will increas it’s priority.
    For now, if you are not allowed to install un-signed DLLs, then we are sorry but you can not use eaTeamWorks (or any previous versions of eaDocX)

    Which version?
    All posts on here must say which version you are using, and we will ALWAYS suggest getting the latest verison and trying again.

    Does this happen with one specific package? Or for any package?
