Embedded element snaps to parent element's border

[Manfred Kröpfli]

Hi

anyone knows, how I can assure that an newly added embedded element (e.g. port) correctly snaps to the wanted border of its parent element. How does the code look like?

I tried:

Code: [Select]


if (app != null)
{
  dobj = (EA.DiagramObject)diagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew("l=50;r=200;t=400;b=500;", string.Empty);
  dobj.ElementID = app.ElementID;
  dobj.Update();

  if (appPort != null)
  {
    dobj = (EA.DiagramObject)diagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew("l=160;r=200;t=440;b=460;", string.Empty);
    dobj.ElementID = appPort.ElementID;
    dobj.Update();
  }
}
but the port's placement is just as told and does not snap to the nearest border.

Thx for any helping hints
Manfred
