Set associated diagram of stereotype

[McMannus]

Good afternoon,

my setting is as follows:
I have two stereotypes of metaclass Component, one of name "Component" and one of "ComponentInstance". Only ComponentInstance should be composite.

If I use the _makeComposite and _defaultDiagramType attributes in ComponentInstances metaclass, then at every creation a diagram is created.
My task is that I don't want to create a new diagram everytime but just set the associated diagram of the created ComponentInstance to an already existing one.

Thanks in advance!

I'd say you would need to write an add-in that catches the EA_OnPreNewElement event and act accordingly.
