Title: How to find out the real ParentID of an Object
Post by: Vmir on August 27, 2014, 05:43:33 pm

Hello

Does anybody know how to find out the position of an Object relative to other Elements on a Diagram?

With other words: I need to find out the real ParentID of an Object inside of specific Diagram independent of the Traceability list or the “t_object” -Table.

As you can see on the picture the Funktion1 is located inside of Component1. But if you look on the Traceability list you will see: “owned by Component2”. It is so because I have changed the position of the Funktion1 in another Diagram which links to the same Objects.

So has anybody any idea how can I handle this?

I think you have to do it by yourself.

Do a database query on t_diagramobject and find an element whose bounds are contained by another element on the same diagram.

FWIW: Ownership should not be assigned by positioning an element in a diagram. Better you make it a real child element by placing it inside the parent within the browser.
