Hi Ian

How bizzarre! Thank you for looking though.

Hi

One of my team has pointed out that you can export a Relationship Matrix out using standard EA functionality, i.e. in the Relationship Matrix form use Options > Matrix > Export to csv… 🙂

Hi Heather

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested and worked fine! You would have thought that there would be an easier method though rather than accessing the back end tables. Maybe an enhancment suggestion for eaDocX…

Hi

OK, I have sorted it after a many hours of playing, and looking through the training notes it was covered but I had forgotton (sorry Ian). :unsure:

For those interested this was my problem.
In Word, a table style includes “boarders and shading”, “table properties”, “font”, “paragraph”, etc. I made a change to the “table properties” (left and right cell margins).

In eaDocX, in Options > Tools and Settings you specify a Word Table Style. I was thinking that this should have picked up my change. But no. In eaDocX it appears to not pick up the “tables and properties” part of the table style, and you have to specify a “text style”!

So I created a new text style in Word, set my left and right indents, and applied this to eaDocX > Tools and Settings and it all works!

Regards

Hi

I have checked and my Word style for diagram picture is “Normal” and this is set to left and right justify. This is what my landscape setting is doing. However there is only one setting which must apply for both portrait and landscape.

So why am I getting differing behaviour between portrait and landscape? And it is the unspecified behaviour is the one that I want (portrait left alinged)!

Thanks
Jeff

Hi

If it helps (!!) I am getting the same message but I am Windows XP – maybe not an o/s problem, or a completly different problem giving the same result?

Hi Ian/Adrian

Thanks for the response. Reading between the lines what I think I was missing was that we can sort using the “profile” for “document roles”.

Issues/questions:
1) However that is simplistic sorting by role so Approver would come before Author, and I may want them the other way round.

2) How is the sorting in the Document Details > Roles held within eaDocX? Whatever sequence I leave them in appears next time I open the model.

3) Amending a Role then puts the role at the bottom of the list.

Apologies to PJarvis – I haven’t intended to hijack your post but it appears we had similar needs! Tell me to clear off….

Ian,

Thanks for fixing this. I am using 3.3.11.3 and still getting the same issue in that I can’t sort. Sorting the elements in EA in the Roles package isn’t doing anything. And modifing a role puts it at the bottom of the list. Am I missing something?

Thanks
Jeff

I second this.

As a suggestion to possible solutions:
– Ability to auto-sort roles
– Ability to manually set the order roles appear. For example in the EA project browser you can change the order elements appear by using the green up and down arrows.

Hi

Once I accept the error I get the window correctly, same as you.

Hi Ian

Thanks for the reply. I must admit I am really struggling to get my head around DM. The system isn’t doing what I am expecting, which is probably me not understanding what it should be doing, or it working in a very certain way I need to get my head around. Also found a couple of “issues” which I will raise.
