I am wanting to use the rtf output as the basis for my documentation, so would like the rtf file to run sequentially (start event to end event). But I can't work out how the order of the objects is controlled.
Any idea, anyone?
Cheers, Peter

Automatic ordering of objects in ARIS is not available by-default. But in this case you can use "identifer" attribute object. Fill this attribute for each objects sequentially (as per your choice), then you have to create report which will use this identifier as sequence number.
Otherwise while creating reports you can use ARIS scripting API which will read objs accordingly X-Y axis in model. (Rightnow I dont remember name of that API, but it is available in ARIS scripting).

Yubhesh,
thanks for the speedy response. I have only now noticed that they are being output alphabetically (it has been a long day). I don't mind adding a number to the front, but it will get a bit tedious renumbering whenever I need to insert a new object.
Will look for the API as suggested.
Cheers,
Peter
Yes Peter, you are right for captuing identifier attr for objs in case of inserting new objs.
API is the best way to do it. But i will tell you if your flow is complicated then dont expect everything to be get printed in sequencially.
Some limitations are there. But it is better to use API.
