Sirius Desktop: Node creation as well as Edge creation? [message #1862196]

Hey there,

I want to be able to create a node with a connected edge in the same event, using the node creation tool in the palette. But it seems this is not possible?

I also tried creating an edge creation tool that creates the node inside of it, however the edge creation tool does not allow me to select the canvas as a suitable target so that doesn't work either.

Is there anyway to do this?

I can kind of do it manually via services, and have done so by just instantiating the model elements that represent the link and node. However that results in some visual problems as the diagram representation of the node is created without the custom style info.

Kind Regards
Jonathan

Hello,

On your edge creation tool[1], in the advance tab, there are fields to define extra mapping for the source or the target of the edge.
This will allow to apply the edge creation tool on other kind of element. In the model operation of your tool, you will need to have some "if" operation to check the type of the source/target element and you can create the node that you want if it is missing to connect your edge.

Best regards,
Steve

Hey Steve,

Oh excellent, I must have missed it when I was looking around! That's exactly what I was looking for, managed to get it working.

Thanks for the help :)

Kind Regards
Jonathan
