Hello,
the tutorial contains a section about creating connections with drag & drop from anchors. It is mentioned that if several create connection features are exposed as drag and drop features, the user is presented a choice of applicable features on drop.
There is a similar use case where the user drops the connection to the diagram and is presented a choice of possible objects to create. When an object is picked, a new object is created plus the connection is created and connected to the anchor of the new object.
What would be the recommended implementation of this use case? Should I use custom features?
Thanks in advance!
Markus

Markus,
for the first use case you should use CreateConnectionFeatures and add all
possibilities to one create new connection entry (class
ConnectionCreationToolEntry) in the palette. I haven't tried the second
thing, but that will probable work just the same way.
The general recommendation would be to use the most specific feature type
possible.
