Moving Node Elements

[Jos]

I am experiencing a problem where EA automatically moves the node elements from the package where I put them into another package that contains a diagram including these nodes. This appears to happen after I close and re-open the project file.  I'd like the node element to remain in its original package.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Have you tried "Tools|Data management|Project Integrity Check"?

I did a project integrity check, and it did indicate that there were 'invalid diagram parents'.  However, the recover/clean option doesn't solve the problem and the integrity issues keep on coming back when I move diagrams and/or nodes.  

It happens on new projects as well, so it appears to be EA that corrupts the project.

I think it has something to do with the fact that I made the nodes composite elements and dropped the parent node element (incl. related nodes) onto the child diagram.

That would certainly do it.

Still, I'm a bit concerned that this occurs in new projects. Are you importing the corrupted diagrams into these project? Or, are you following the same procedure of dropping parents onto child elements?

This happens on new projects as well.  I have tried this on my PC as well as on a colleague's PC.  In both cases, I started with completely new projects and didn't copy any diagrams or packages.

Jos,

I guess it is time to report this to Sparx. If you can compress a simple project where this happens it would help Sparx. It would be even better if you could give them a before and after project (i.e. one where you've saved but not yet reopened the file).

Use the Report a Bug link below the Support link at the bottom of any forum page. When you create your report, please quote the title of this thread and past in a link. This will help Sparx understand the discussion so far. Also, if you hear back from Sparx, please let us know here. That way the user community will understand what's being done.

Thanks much,
David

I have reported this as a bug to Sparx.
