I’ve just come across this thread looking for the answer to the same original question. But IMHO the suggested solution is not really practical. I would like to apply different profiles to different views (diagrams) on the same components and have different information from the components printed out in each case. Even if I created an element report section for each component type in my diagram, I not sure I can restrict the content to those components in the appropriate diagram. Also, unlike Profiles, the presentation created for a element report can’t exported and re-used in another document (AFAIK) which is a big problem for me.
For me there are two separate concerns here: selecting elements – either from a diagram or a query of some sort and presenting the selected elements – i.e. what’s defined by a profile or the very similar Report “formatting”. Personally, I would like to be able to define the latter in a single manner which can be preserved and used across multiple projects to present the a set of elements, how ever they are selected.
