I have been tearing my hair out, but expect that there is a simple solution to this. I have a multipart document representing a software design description that I am pulling out of a (rather messy) EA model. for one of the sections, the engineer wants to have a specific diagram, with its notes and descriptions of all of the objects on it as a section of the document.
i can pull the diagram (or shallow copy) into a specific folder and target a model document against it. Leaving it in place (with other diagrams) means that the generator will return all of the diagrams in that package. I would rather use either the QBF or custom SQL query to generate this.
What am I missing?
there is work in line to harmonise the model structures such that everyone is representing the same 'stuff' in the same way (please dont ask...) as well as striking the balance between ease of navigation for non-modellers and document generation and modellers thought patterns, however to get over the current hump I have a series of structures of model documents, templates, fragments (duct tape, string and hope) pulling it together; except this 'pull a single diagram' into a fragment and report on it.
any advice appreciated!
