Hey all,
is there a possible solution to add nodes in a figure (e.g. in a rectangle)?
Or in other words: Can I create Nodes without underlying domain Elements in which other nodes can be added like compartments?
Problem: The containing figure is NOT a representation for a domain element.
I'll be thankful for any help...
regards

Hello Mickael,
thanks a lot for your reply.
Your suggested solution would solve the problem.
Unfortunately I want to use the solution as well for other elements.
So if I'd do it that way the complexity of the underlying domain model will rise up unnecessarily.
Maybe it makes my point a way clearer if i post the actual structure of the affected elements:
Consider the elements A and B.
There is a multiple containment-relation between A and B thus A hold several B's.
To apply your solution I have to add an element C (container) which serves as the container. So I got the following structure:
A contains one C & C contains multiple B's.
This produces a lot of overhead which did not actual reflect the underlying (and desired) domain-structure.
At the end I have to do it that way but im still hoping that there exist another approach which fits the underlying structure. I really need it for decorative purposes only.

Thanks for replying.
There is no need to build a graphical representation for element A.
I have a subdiagram which represents A.
In this subdiagram I only want to have Nodes of element B which should be drawn in an aligned manner...
To repeat the issue: The graphical container is not a domain element.
