Title: Reload diagram without re-routing connections
Post by: gandel on February 19, 2014, 03:54:42 am

Hi,
I changed direction of connection on open diagram with my script, but the change is not visible.
I tried some methods to make it visible:

Code: [Select]

selectedConnector.Update();
currentDiagram.Update();
Repository.ReloadDiagram(long DiagramID)
it works, but in addition re-routes some of other connections, so I have to manually repair them.
I tried also:

Code: [Select]

selectedConnector.Update();
currentDiagram.Update();
Repository.RefreshOpenDiagrams(true)
and it does nothing.
Now I do:

Code: [Select]

selectedConnector.Update();
currentDiagram.Update();
Repository.CloseDiagram(currentDiagram.DiagramID);
Repository.OpenDiagram(currentDiagram.DiagramID);
and it works, but scrolls my diagram to the top left corner.

Is there any better method to make the change of direction visible?

What means "change direction"? Change the type to be Target -> Source or did you exchange Supplier and Client?

To change direction means to change value of connector attribute "Direction".

Ok. First you do not need to call diagram.update as you change only a connector. If you issue reloadDiagram it will eventually discard changes. So you should call SaveDiagram first.

Thanks, now it works, no other connections re-routes!
Now it is like this:

Code: [Select]

selectedConnector.Direction = "Bi-Directional";
selectedConnector.Update();
Repository.SaveDiagram(currentDiagram.DiagramID);
Repository.ReloadDiagram(currentDiagram.DiagramID);
