Disable parent feature when moving elems in diagr

[Diego Martinez]

Hi to everybody,

I have an EA model in an SQL database. Every day new users are using this model.

In this model, I have some Nodes and Components predefined in the Project Browser's hierarchy.

The users use this predefined objects to drag-and-drop to their custom Component Diagrams.

The problem is that when components are moved in front of them, EA try to set an element parent relationship, and the components are moved in my Project Browser's hierarchy (as explain in http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/8.0/modeling_fundamentals/movingelements.html).

I don't want this behaviour. I would like that the user can move elements but that no parent relationship be set.

The "Support for Composite Objects" in EA Options could be disabled to accomplish this, but to disable this feature I need to remember to do it in every new EA user that wants to use my SQL model.

Is other way to accomplish this? Maybe setting some property in the model or creating custom element stereotypes?

Any help would be appreciate!


Thanks in advance,
Diego
