Hi everyone,

When I create a type of Node, my application must create another type and
locate it in an specific place of the diagram.

I have cerate the second Node, but i don't know how to locate it where I
want in the diagram.
I have use the SetBoundsCommand but ther's no result. The Node is located
in the center of the diagram always.

Anyone knows how can I do this??

Thanks and sorry, my english isn't good, I'm from Spain.

Hi Carlos,

if I'm not wrong, in the Request you build (CreateViewRequest) to
create a new Node you can specify the location where the new View will
be created. Have you tried that?

Cheers,
Javi

The CreateViewElement doesn't have a parameter for the location.

I tried this:

CompositeTransactionalCommand cc = new CompositeTransactionalCommand(
domain, DiagramUIMessages.AddCommand_Label);

PreferencesHint hint = new PreferencesHint(node.getName());

CreateViewAndElementRequest reqVEC = new
CreateViewAndElementRequest(ActivityScenariosElementTypes.Sc enarioPage_1001,
hint);

Iterator iter = reqVEC.getViewDescriptors().iterator();

CreateViewRequest.ViewDescriptor viewDescriptor =
(CreateViewRequest.ViewDescriptor)iter.next();

Point rectangle = new Point(1000,1000);

cc.compose(new SetBoundsCommand(domain,
DiagramUIMessages.SetLocationCommand_Label_Resize,
viewDescriptor,
rectangle));

try {
cc.execute(null, null);
...

is a SetBoundsCommand, but this is doing nothing.

Try reqVEC.setLocation(Point)

CreateViewRequest inherits setLocation from CreateRequest.
