Hi,

Does anyone know why Sparx has started displaying the Structural Elements dialogue when I drag and drop an event (BPMN) to a diagram from the Project Browser ? The event itself is then added larger then the default size. Same with swimlanes (BPMN Lane/Pools), dialogue is displayed.

Don't get the problem when creating new events/swimlanes from the toolbox.


Regards,

Jon.

You shouldn't be re-using BPMN Pools and Lanes on multiple diagrams.
A Pool or Lane should only be used in the context of a single Business Process (and thus only on a single diagram)

That rule is true for almost any BPMN element; probably including events as well. (not sure, I haven't really looked into BPMN events before)

Yes I know. But for various reasons we are. The question still remains, as this behaviour as only just started on our model - so I'm assuming that someone has set a config/preference somewhere/somehow in our model. Has anyone come across anything similar?
