Generate RTF Documentation in Enterprise Architect

Producing high quality documentation in Enterprise Architect is simplicity itself. Documentation can be produced in MS Word compatible format in a matter of seconds or minutes, with very few mouse clicks. Even the largest models can be used to generate documentation in an instant, with no problem.

Simply select the Package you wish to document in the project browser and right click to bring up the context menu. Select Documentation - Rich Text Documentation

Selecting this option will display the following options screen. From here you can select what details to include or exclude, what diagrams to show, whether to process child packages, where to ouput documentation & etc. When complete, press Run to generate your RTF document.

Rich Text Format documents can be read by MS Word. In practice you may wish to create Master documents with links to your RTF files - this way you can continually update the body of the document (the RTF part) while keeping the master sections (indexes, cover pages, headers, footers & etc.) the same.

Note: The RTF files generated store the images in a separate directory - if you distribute your documents you must either distribute this directory as well OR use MS Word to break the links and store the images in the document (see Edit/Links in MS Word)
