Hi,

I'm creating an editor based on an ecore model which has 4 classes(->nodes), which all have references to each other, so they can be linked. Because modeling a diagram can be quite expansive and hinders the visual representation, here's my question:

Is it possible to create several diagram editor's and then link the nodes from the different diagrams to each other?

In the metamodel, Goals and Actors are two of the four classes, with a reference Actor-(responsibility)->Goal between them.

What i'd like to achieve:
In Diagram 1 in the runtime I map GOAL A
In Diagram 2 I map ACTOR A
-> I can then link ACTOR A using the property view to GOAL A with a responsibility link.

Hi Simon,

all you need to do is loading a resource of a diagram into another diagram. So you can "cross-link" diagrams (actually resources) however you like on the domain level.
There should be a standard context action, that will enable you to do that.
You can do the same on the notation level by using shortcuts. (the search function will point you to the right spots).

Regards
Thomas
