30 December 2024 at 11:35 am in reply to: Error in the preview section – the document is not completely generated. #21018Ian MitchellKeymaster
Somehow the Profile and the document have got out of synch.
This error happens when eaDocX looks through the document to find all the eaDocX sections (the bits which start and end with the pink text), but when it looks into the Profile, it can find anything about that section.
Best plan is to delete the section manually from the document (select text from BEFORE the pink bits, to AFTER the end of the ‘end’ pink bits, and delete that from the document. Don’t worry, all the content comes from EA, so you will not lose anything.)
Then just add back a new section, in the right place, and re-generate.30 December 2024 at 11:28 am in reply to: I cannot stop generate Pool and Lane in BPMN diagram #21017Ian MitchellKeymasterIf there is no Profile for Pools and Lanes (which are types of ActivityPartion), then these will not print.
Please can you put the Profile for your document into this post, and I will take a look? (should not be confidential).
To so this, open your eaDocX document, and find the ‘SAve’ menu, and choose Profile / Save profile. This will create an XML document whihc you should be able to paste here.
Thanks26 November 2024 at 8:27 am in reply to: Urgent Assistance Required for TeamWorks License Issues #20956Ian MitchellKeymasterI think ‘normal’ resolution is up to 96 DPI. Anything more than that, and the application gets confused, because the form sizes and the font sizes don’t match. I’m not in the office yet, so I can’t see the settings on my surface pro, but I think I have to set the screen to 100%, not 125 or 150%. I know this then makes the text really small, which is why I always use an external monitor, and set that to 100%.
I think there are other answers to this question on this forum – please can you search for them?
Thanks26 November 2024 at 8:13 am in reply to: Urgent Assistance Required for TeamWorks License Issues #20954Ian MitchellKeymasterHi Pavel,
Sorry you having problems with eaTeamworks.
I think many of these issues have the same cause. If you are using a high-resolution screen, such as on a SurfacePro laptop, then the screen sizing will not work correctly. This is a known issue, which we are trying to fix.
Please can you try either using an external monitor which has a normal resolution, or switch your laptop monitor to normal resolution.
Thanks
Ian21 October 2024 at 10:34 am in reply to: Second level packages are misordered and duplicated in the generated document #20924Ian MitchellKeymasterI have made 1.3.7.5 available, which I think fixes this issue.
Ian MitchellKeymasterGood 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
Ian7 October 2024 at 12:20 am in reply to: Second level packages are misordered and duplicated in the generated document #20919Ian MitchellKeymasterI’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.Ian MitchellKeymasterI 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

23 September 2024 at 9:13 am in reply to: EA crashes when using right-click after eaDocX installation #20876Ian MitchellKeymasterThis 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
IanIan MitchellKeymasterPlease can you install the latest version, and try this again. Beta 1.1.2 is quite an old version.
Thanks
Ian2 September 2024 at 9:36 pm in reply to: EA crashes when using right-click after eaDocX installation #20870Ian MitchellKeymasterAre you using 32 or 64 bit EA?
19 August 2024 at 8:49 am in reply to: Second level packages are misordered and duplicated in the generated document #20804Ian MitchellKeymasterI 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 ?
ThanksIan MitchellKeymasterChange 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.
SorryIan MitchellKeymasterHi 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.
Ian MitchellKeymasterI 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?
