Title: Comosite Element - Helpful Hints?
Post by: lipmanc on April 05, 2006, 04:08:01 am

Composite elements allow a parent-child relationhsip to be formed between an element and a diagram when that diagram is a sub to the element in the project window.  Is there an effective way to create a parent-child to a diagram that is located somewhere else in the project window?

I seems that I can relocated the child diagram, and the link is maintained.  Is that asking for trouble (i.e., at risk for the link being broken by EA at some point) if I move the child diagram?

Any other tricks for linking/nesting diagrams other than using EA's hyperlink?

Hi!
We have the same question concerning Composite Elements.

We have an existing activity diagram and we would like to make this diagram as a composite element from a new created class e.g.

I hope there is a way for doing so...

best regards.

I've been doing this extensively since composite elements were introduced - no problems.
