Bugs and Issues / Stopping Automated Nesting of Elements
« on: January 05, 2024, 01:21:44 am »
Hi all,
I've created an MDG to support some enterprise architecture modelling. We're defining building blocks from scratch such as a range of actors/organisations but noticed an odd issue that we cannot work around.
1. Add Organisation (actor) element, display as rectangle, resize.
2. Add related organisation (actor) to diagram, as rectangle.
3. Drag the latter within the "parent" (parent in loosest sense).
4. The related organisation now moves from its own package to nest under the "parent".
When using TOGAF, this behaviour does not manifest. But in my own MDG which is based upon UML it does. So how do I stop it?
Thanks!

- I want to define the relationship between several organisations.
- I want to establish the relationship as a link, and may define custom connectors (we would like to generate custom views in future.
- I do not want the organisations to nest if they are dragged onto eachotehr in a diagram. Some diagrams, for aesthetic reasons may appear to nest, but this is for display only
