DM 3.0.0.665: Disappearing relationship lines

I am now realizing that also relationship lines are disappearing from my ER Diagrams for no apparent reason.
The relationships are not just not shown, they also affect the "Engineer to Relational Model" function, as the corresponding foreign keys of the relational model also disappear.
It has only happened a few times in my 150 entity model, but it is happening in the current production release.
/ Marc de Oliveira

Yes, I am seeing the relationships on the diagrams when I do "Engineer to relational". I found six relationships on three diagrams that did not engineer to foreign keys, even though all necessary primary keys were in place.
The only way I could make it work was to delete the relationships and recreate them, exactly the same way they were...
Also, these relationships have worked before, as corresponding foreign keys were in place in my relational model. Only when I deleted the foreign keys, I realized that "engineer to relational" did not recreate them...
One of the involved entities had undisplayed sub entities but these were not involved in the relationships.

Self-referencing relationship line is non-movable

I am using Version 3.0.0.665 of data modeler. When I create a self-referencing relationship, the relationship line ends cannot be moved. They seem to be fixed. Is this the normal behavior. Any way to make them more flexible.

You can't adjust the size of self referencing lines at the stage. We do have this logged to fix in a future release.

How can I disappear the lines of the grid from the picture?

Please help!
This photo was made through a grid.

My question is: how can I disappear the lines of the grid from the picture with Photoshop CS2? Thanks!!!

Select the offending parts with a fuzzy-edged selection and adjust the curves to get some relief.
Then Burn and Dodge can be your friends as well.
Some things that can help: Make a duplicate layer so you have the original to compare against (and to go back to as needed. Work in 16 bits / channel and (ideally) at an upsampled resolution. Add a Curves adjustment layer above with the curves pulled up so you can lighten up the shadows as needed and see that you're getting things right even in the dark shadows.
You may need to do some selective noise reduction in the places you've enhanced, as the lightening and darkening will bring up the noise.

Data Modeler - How to move relationship lines?

I can't figure out how to move the relationship lines on the data modeler.
Tried a bunch of things that have worked in all the other modelers I've used, but no luck. Couldn't find anything in the help text about it, either.

Hi Jim, David,
AutoRoute (on/off) can be managed at diagram level - use right mouse click on empty space.
In current published release (AutoRoute off) - straight lines (only two connection points) cannot be moved. You need intermediate points (at least one) for better arranging. Points (Elbows ) are created using Ctrl+mouse click.
Connection points also can be moved in next EA release.

P6.2.1 relationship lines

Is there a built-in feature of P6.2.1 to format relationship lines to display diagonally between tasks? I don't like how they "stack" on each other between common pred's and succ's.

Welcome to the forum :)
Are you talking about the form's object navigator? Or something else..and when you post any thread please mention the version.

Data Disappears from Line Chart in Preview Mode

Help! Line chart data present in design mode, but disappears when in preview mode. I have a dashboard that I update monthly. Simple line charts. Now, the line chart data is visible while in the design view, but does not show up when in the preview view or even when converting it to a PDF or Powerpoint. SWF issue? Inputs are needed!
Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,
The answer to, why the data disappears in runtime mode, depends on how you retrieve the data in your dashboard.
It seems that you have some sample static data in your spreadsheet that shown in design mode. But chances are that this data is set to be overwritten in runtime mode, if you import your data using QAAWS, Live Office or similar.
I would suggest you to add a "spreadsheet table" component (found in the bottom of the Selectors category in the components browser) to your dashboard. Set the spreadsheet table to display some of the cells in the spreadsheet that you expect to get populated during runtime.
In this way you can verify if data is actually present in the relevant cells during runtime.
By the way - this is also a best practice method to test data-retrieval in Xcelsius.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Simon

Disappearing plot line when zoomed

I am having a problem with my CNiGraph plot line disappearing when the axes min and max are explicitly defined and they are substantially smaller than they would be if the graph were autoscaled. I am using measurement studio 8.6.1.465 and NiDaqmx 9.0.2 on windows XP. I am controlling axis scale either by SetAutoScale() or SetMinMax(). My code is rather large, so I am including snippets of what I am doing below.
I noticed a thread with a similar problem at:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=232&message.id=3769&query.id=1275984#M3769
Please help! I have tried window invalidation, turning on/off immediate updates to the graph, setting axes visible/invisible, etc.
-drew
Setup code:
CNiPlot plot = m_pGraph->GetPlots().Add();
       CNiCursor cursor = m_pGraph->GetCursors().Add();
       //cursor.SetSnapMode(CNiCursor:napPointsOnPlot);
       cursor.SetSnapMode(CNiCursor:napNearestPoint);
       cursor.SetVisible(true);
       cursor.SetPointStyle(CNiCursor:ointCross);
       cursor.SetCrosshairStyle(CNiCursor::CrosshairNone);
       cursor.SetColor(CNiColor(255,255,255));
       cursor.SetPlot(plot);
       CNiAxes axes = m_pGraph->GetAxes();
       CNiAxis xAxis, yAxis;
       xAxis = axes.Item(1);
       yAxis = axes.Item(2);
        yAxis.FormatString = ".##e";
        xAxis.FormatString = "hh:nn:ss";
        CNiColor lineColor(m_plotArray[i]->m_lineColor);
       plot.LineColor = lineColor;
        plot.XAxis.GetTicks().SetMajorGrid(true);
       plot.YAxis.GetTicks().SetMajorGrid(true);
       plot.XAxis.GetTicks().SetMajorGridColor(CNiColor(60,60,60));
       plot.YAxis.GetTicks().SetMajorGridColor(CNiColor(60,60,60));
    m_pGraph->ChartLength = m_graphLength;
   m_pGraph->ChartStyle = CNiGraph::ChartStrip;
   m_pGraph->SetImmediateUpdates(true);
Graphing:
CNiReal64Matrix newData;
m_pGraph->GetPlots().Item(i+1).ChartXY(newData);
m_pGraph->GetCursors().Item(i+1).SetPosition(newData(0,maxCol),
                                                                    newData(1,maxCol));
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I managed to fix this problem, noticing that panning the graph caused the line to redraw properly. I added a very small amount of 'jitter' to the X axis each time after ChartXY is called. Since autoscale mode seems to refresh just fine, i only introduce jitter if the axis min/max is set explicitly:
if (!m_pGraph->Axes.Item("XAxis").GetAutoScale()){
        static double plusMinus = 1.0;
        m_pGraph->Axes.Item("XAxis").SetMinMax(m_pGraph->Axes.Item("XAxis").GetMinimum()+(plusMinus*0.000000001),
                                                m_pGraph->Axes.Item("XAxis").GetMaximum()+(plusMinus*0.000000001));
        plusMinus *= -1.0;
It seems this is a bug in the graph control since there is no problem with the cursor drawing properly and I should not need to write code like this to keep my plot lines from disappearing?

Disappearing tolerance lines on xy chart

I don't understand why my limit lines are disappearing on my xy chart. They should follow the green signal which starts from 0,0 up to 12,12, then back down to -12,-12, then back to 0,0. This is hard to see because the data points overlap. As soon as the limit lines reverse, they disappear. I am using part of an example code for tolerance checking. Any constructive criticism is welcome as I am trying to learn many aspects of LV. Thanks!

Disappeared dashed lines options

very often when I want to adjust the spacing for the dashed lines in Indesign cs6, the options disappear in the stroke flyout panel.
Strangely, it remains disappeared for the specified file forever. The workaround that I do for this is that I open a new file, make the dashed lines as desired, (yeah, the options come in a new file), then copy paste it. What exactly is causing this weird behaviour?

Here's my screenshot with everything selected. I have yet to trash my preferences. currently learning to backup my shortcuts . Does this problem occur in the latest version of indesign which is CC?
I'm always beware of new versions, often they are heavier and take longer time to process, e.g. photoshop cs6 i found slower than cs5
You haven't select the Dashed Line at the bottom of the Type options.
You have 2 different stroke weights selected, that's why weight shows as nothing.
Bold part: That's just not true for everyone, in fact I find each version of all the Adobe suites to run perfectly fine - there may be something you need to change on your system to get the programs to work better. But I never notice any difference from version to version regarding longer times to process.

Disappearing MIDI line with Rewire\Reason

Okay, I've just spent 1/2 hour recording a MIDI line using Rewire and Reason. The instrument I was using was Thor.
When I stopped recording, the Region was labled "*recording". I thought that this was weird, but it played back okay.
Then I changed a window or something, and part of my recording line disappeared. So, I deleted what was left and rerecorded it.
I had the same label on the region when I finished. THEN I after I had changed the label name for the region, I noticed that I had TWO regions, the old one and the new one. I deleted the new one and kept the old one.
I closed out of both programs (in proper order), reopened just to see what would happen . . . (drum roll please) NO recording on that line whatsoever!
Any ideas on this?

I had some issues as well, until I ran into this video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxVzDwQipzw
If you can't do it watching this, then don't bother at all!

Can i disappear the line at report section.

hi.
i have one small Requirement.
ie.
under detail section in put one report section
in report section i draw two vertical lines left and right
and also immediate report i draw one horizontal line.
my requirement is ..
Based upon the Detail section date the report section some times goes to the second page some times it is at first page.
when ever it is goes to the second page the horizontal line should be Disappear...
only left and right should be appear..
is there any magic
is it possible
it yes
plz suggest me some ideas.

Hi Srini,
You cannot conditionally suppress lines/boxes.
Only workaround is to place that horizontal line in another section and suppress that section itself.

Disappearing report lines

Post Author: blagdonman
CA Forum: Formula
Please help while I have some hair left!
I have a report which operates on two linked tables named Events and Matches. The report creates lines composed from several fields in Events and one field in Matches, lets call it "Title". It was working fine while every record in Events had a valid link to Matches. Things changed, as they do, and the link between the tables became optional. So now, where no match is expected a zero value occurs in Events where the link to Matches would usually be.
I replaced the required Matches field in the report with a formula that said (in pseudo code): if the link in Events is null or zero valued then return the string "No match exists" else return the value of the Title field from Matches.
Much to my amazement this didn't work - the whole report line was blank, even the fields from Events didn't show up!
If I re-jig the "else" part of the formula to output the string "A match exists." instead of the Title field then I see the whole line.
As soon as I introduce the Title field back into the formula I get blank lines again even though, when the link in Events is zero, I'm not processing that part of the formula that uses the field name! I don't get it! CR seems to look into the formula, see the reference to the field in Events and assume that I'm going to process it.
Advice is welcomed, and necessary, to preserve my sanity.
Thanks,
J.

Thanks for your reply - here's a few comments:
- I had only used the CR Database Expert and the Select Expert to set up table, record and field selection and to make sure the links were the right way round.
- The relationship from Events to Matches is many to one (which is the opposite to what you thought).
- I originally had an inner join from Events to Matches.
- I used the CR Database Expert to change to a Left Outer join (you had given the hint) and it worked. The whole thing now turns out exactly as I want it. The only remaining problem is that I'm not sure why!
Thanks for your interest and help - we did it!!!!

Disappearing white lines in standard table mode

I always work in Standard Table Mode -- today I somehow lost
the white lines that help me make sense of it.
Screenshot:

So it is supposed to look like what you see in the
screenshot, but in actuality there are none of those lines. Did I
accidentally toggle something off?
Thanks

Hi PB!
It sounds like you might be disable CSS layout lines. Open
your visual aid that is in the document tool bar (the icon with an
eye) and see if it’s anabled.
Cheers!

4.0EA3 Redrawing of Relationship and FK Lines

Is there a way to tell SDDM not to redraw automatically. I get my diagram the way I want it and then accidentally bump an entity or table and all the lines get redrawn center to center. An undo would be nice.
If there isn't a way I would like to add it as an enhancement request.
Marcus Bacon

Thanks. That is good for the accidental bump but what if I need to stretch an entity/table? Can I turn off auto redraw?
I know others have asked before but please allow us to turn off auto redraw and allow redraw of individual or group elements on demand. Anyone else see this as a desirable feature?
Here is my situation. I have a parent company entity and 12 child lookup entities which have relationships to a child entity, sort of like a fact table. The company entity goes across the top and has 12 relationships to the lookup tables which are placed below the parent and are staggered just enough for the relationship line connection to show. I have to move from 11 of the relationship lines from the center of the lookup entity to the left edge. The company entity also has a relationship to the "fact" entity and each lookup has a relationship to the fact entity which is below the company entity and to the right of the lookup entities.. Now I have a new lookup entity to add but the company entity needs to be stretched just a little to accommodate the new lookup. When I stretch the parent all 12 of the relationship lines to the lookup tables auto redraw to the center of those tables except for the one directly under the company table and I now have to move 12 relationship lines to be able to see the identity and nontransferable graphics. Then I have to repeat the process for the relational model. It should look something like this: If the diagram isn't clear make sure it is in a fixed pitch font.
