Title: update() call on diagram objects ea10 bug?
Post by: rayt on November 21, 2013, 02:22:33 am

Hello,
making a simple call to update() on the diagram object of a structural element moves the box to (0,0) inside its parent - this was working in EA 9, but appears broken in EA 10.
can anyone reproduce this or maybe have a workaround?
thanks,
ray

Here is some code to reproduce the effect. Apparently it works with normal elements, but not with structural elements.

Code: [Select]

OnProjectBrowserScript();

function OnProjectBrowserScript()
{
      var theDiagram as EA.Diagram;
      theDiagram = Repository.GetTreeSelectedObject();
      
      for(var i = 0, maxi = theDiagram.DiagramObjects.Count; i < maxi; i++) {
            var dob as EA.DiagramObject;
            
            dob = theDiagram.DiagramObjects.GetAt(i);            
            dob.Update();
      }
      
      theDiagram.Update();
}

Might be connected to a broken placement of embedded elements in V10 which worked in 9.3. I have reported this a while ago after one reader of my Scripting book noticed that the example did not work in V10.

You should report this as a bug. That might shorten the time to fix...

q.

P.S. The final Diagram.Update is superfluous.

Thanks for your reply, I'll report a bug.
Btw this only happens when the diagram is not visible in a window, so caling Repository.OpenDiagram(theDiagram.DiagramID); before the update is an (ugly) workarond.
