    #1 was a fix I did for you! I need the columns which are used for editing diagram connectors to be a pre-defined order, or the processing is VERY VERY complicated. It is already VERY complicated.
    #2 Adding of connectors is deliberately simpler than the ‘main’ eaXL function – it was a special requirement for a customer, and this is all they needed. Never really intended as a general solution.

    I have added a new feature into 4.2.1 which allows this.

    Get each of your users to go the eaDocX Application settings (from the main EA menu, Specialize / eaDocX / Settings / Application Settings0 and under the Quick Document settings, in Quick Document default template, choose a .dotx or dotm file, and that will get used for all Quick Documents for that user.
    Setting is per-user, as this feels like a personal preference.
    Thanks for the idea!

    There is no feature to do that at the moment.(v4.2)
    As you will have found, you can create a Quick Document – using the ‘Normal.dot’ template
    or
    Create a new document, and choose the template.
    What we don’t have is both together.
    The reason for this is that we want Quick document to work first time, every time, for new users. So they don’t need to setup anything: they just choose Quick Document, and they get a document.
    I guess we could have a ‘template override’ setting, where the user chooses their ‘Quick Document’ Word template, then that is used for all the QDs they produce.
    I will investigate.

    1. – this looks like it might be an issue with your Word paragraph styles. Try changing the style, and see what happens.
    2. – i will look at this. I know I did some changes a short time ago for non-UK date formats, but it looks like I forgot one! I will update this thread when thre is a fix available.

    Hi Miroslav,
    I have had a look at this, and it’s definitely not the greatest bit of the eaDocX user interface, but it seems to work ok.
    I chose all the options I wanted, and they saved (brand new, empty repository) then I generated a document using Quick Document.
    (Quick Doc does not save the document into EA the first time you generate the document – that way, we can make sure that QD always works).
    If I then re-generated that Quick Document, it then saved into Ea correctly (even though the message said ‘saved externally’, which I will fix.

    We don’t do any shortcut keys, so it’s not that.
    If you can open an older version which has the right formatting, you can do a ‘save profile’, which will create an XML file with all the profiles for everything.
    You can then choose ‘import profile’, but beware, that will overwrite all your existing formatting decisions.
    Alternative is to re-create the ‘Class’ profile, from the Profile tab, just ‘add profile’.

    I will look into this ASAP. In the meantime, you can use DM without going through the Wizard: just enable DM in the settings for your repository.

    Isn’t this just a normal Element Report?
    On the ‘more settings’ tab, and the end of the Attribute dropdown is ‘Tagged values’ – there you can filter on a TV

    I agree – it’s a bug. I will fix in next release.

    in reply to: Element report – cross ref does not work #9370

    Participant

    The UI currently ‘forgets’ to put the Element type name into the drop-down. If you add it, and save, then the function works. It just forgets next time to open the report.
    I have fixed this, and will release soon.

    That bit of the help is out-of-date. (The best version of the help is always that which is included with the product. That gets updated each time I create a new release (though I know there are some places where it needs updating)).
    The web version, and the PDF versions are usually older.

    As for this function, we removed it some time ago, even though it looks useful.
    The problem with offering pre-built profiles is that they assume your model works in a specific way: that, for example, Requirement elements link to Component elements with a ‘Realization’ connector. But maybe you didn’t do things that way: maybe you used a ‘Dependency’ instead.
    In that case, the pre-built Profile just won’t produce anything useful.

    The new experience for when you open a Word document which has no eaDocX content, is to just tell you that there is no EA content in your document, and ask you to add some.
    1. Place the cursor in the Word document where you want to add some EA content
    2. Choose package you want to add
    3. Right-click in EA project browser, and choose eaDocX / Add to document / New section.

    THEN
    eaDocX will analyze what you have in the package and create profiles based what kinds of elements are in the package, and how you have linked them.

    This is MUCH more flexible than using fixed Profiles, and gets you a good-looking document much faster.
    I will remember to update the online help in the next release.

    eaDocX gets this from a system variable which return the current user’s AppData directory.
    On my machine (Win10) this is:
    C:UsersIanAppData
    (note that by default , the AppData folder is hidden)
