Elements on diagram

[Alex9329]

Hi!

If I put in one element in another element on diagram, Project browser hierarchy will be also changed. Could you please tell me how to avoid this Project hierarchy changes (the dependency of diagrams and Project browser)?

Look at the option "Support for Composite Objects" in Start | Preferences | Objects

But to be honest, most of the time that function works as it should. If you have an issue with that you might be doing something wrong. (such as putting Activities on an activity diagram)

Hi Alex,

there are strategies for avoiding the Project browser incorrectly Nesting components when the relationship between them is not Nesting, but (typically) composition, aggregation etc.

However, first, you need to decide (when you visually embed one element inside another) what relationship you are implying.

On the Diagram Behavior preferences page there is an option for 'Auto Group Elements'. I believe that's what you're looking for.

Press 'Alt' and drag / drop, when moving elements in and out of another element. This will let you retain the hierarchy.
