Layout sync among multiple diagrams

[BIQAS]

Hi,

so what I was trying is:

Have a simple component CompA on diagram lets say DiaA. Have an other component CompB and CompC on diagram DiaBC.

On DiaBC the CompB and CompC are connected with each other and layouted (this is the important part) in a way I would prefere.

Now if i create a new diagram DiaAll, in this diagram I want to show all components with preserved layouts and sizes. And i do NOT want them appear as 'frames' or 'compartment composite structures'

So after I create the new diagram and I go to DiaBC and change the position or size of one of the component then it should also reflect on DiaAll.

I tried lot of things and searched a lot but could not find anything?!?

How would that work? Each diagram is individual for good reason. The position of elements have a certain meaning in each diagram (e.g. being highlighted, place centrally or with reduced information somewhere aside).

The only way to go is to use the diagram frames. And since these frames need to show that they are individuals (why does Monty Python come to mind?) they are shown with the frame.

Hi,

I'm  not saying that should be the general case, but  I was looking for something more like a diagram type wich can be used as a shared layout container, which can be used in diffrent diagrams with one layout source.

Oh, I see. But again, it's not possible. You might have a look at diagram filters which allow to create the all-in-one and then just show a subset.

I guess using an add-in to achieve what you ask for is not the way to go.

Are the layout information accessible of a diagram?

P.S.
I meant through programming or scripting interfaces

Yes
