Possible to Show Nested Objects Inside Owning Cla?
« on: June 19, 2009, 11:39:38 pm »
New to EA so it may be lurking somewhere.

What I'd like to be able to do is to nest related objects within each other russian doll style.

ie. I have 2 classes, Building and say Data Centre which are related by a dependency 'hosts'. I'd like EA to be able to show Data Centre within Building rather than just stick to a hierarchical layout which can waste a lot of diagram space.

Is there any way to do this?


I did try to look up 'nesting' but this got confused with the relationship of the same name.

Hi,

Yes, Please create a class. Resize to fit new classes you would like to add. Create new classes on top of the first class. Visually, it will look like Oracle CASE IE Data Model (supertype & subtype).

best regards
