Include Composite Diagrams in EA RTF Generation

Question

Using Sparx Enterprise Architect 10:

I have a package containing a diagram and a number of activity elements. The elements are on the diagram and contain a composite activity diagram with elements from other packages. The structure containing the composite diagrams looks like this:

The structure containing all of the tests that are on Verify Product1 activity diagram might look like this:

Is there a way to include the composite diagrams when generating a RTF report?

Currently, my RTF template is set up to process:

• packages
• package elements
• diagrams
• diagram elements

I'd like it to generate something like:

• 1. Verify System1 (package)
• 1.1. Verify System1 (diagram)
• 1.1.1. Verify Product0 (element)
• 1.1.1. Verify Product1 (element)
• 1.1.1.1 Verify Product1 (diagram)
• 1.1.1.1.1 Verify Product1 Subsystem0 (element)
• 1.1.1.1.1 Verify Product1 Subsystem1 (element)
• 1.1.1.1.1 Verify Product1 Subsystem2 (element)
• 1.1.1. Verify Product2 (element)

(Assuming the three test cases are on Verify Product1 diagram.)

Note: I understand how to create the RTF templates as I need them: what I don't understand is how to indicate that I want the composite diagrams to be processed.

Answer 1

You can achieve it (with a small trick). You need to follow the hierarchy as shown in the image below

The expected hierarchy is

Package

->Diagram

->Element

->->Diagram

->->->Element

Now the trick, when you enable the Diagram under Package->Element, you wouldn't have an option to enable Element again, to work around this, enable the "Element" under (Package->Diagram) cut and paste the place holder (element>.....Element->Diagram)

Have exported my template (RTF) for your reference, you can import it and try to apply on your Verify System package) https://www.dropbox.com/s/b9y9jo4xk0yq2zf/SampleRTFTemplate.rtf
