Diagram Frames and element connectors.

[paramedik]

Gurus:

I have a highly detailed capability taxonomy diagram.  I want to embed this diagram in another composite diagram AND display the relationships between elements in both diagrams.  Further, I want the taxonomy diagram to update automagically within the composite as I make changes to either the taxonomy OR the composite diagram.

Diagram frames would seem to be the obvious answer except they're images and you cannot show the connectors from the image to the composite diagram.

Anyone with ideas?  I'm happy to script if needed.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Your two requirements are incompatible in EA.

You could replicate your composite diagram using a script.

Basically recreate each diagramObject you find in the base diagram for your other diagram.
You'll probably need to adjust the coördinates a bit.

That would be a bit of work, but nothing impossible
