Hi ,

I am using latest version of gmf i.e 2.1.0. I am using separate file for
model and diagram. When I copy a element on editor and paste it, at this
time I can see the element on the editor but value is not getting saved in
model. When I close the editor and reopen it ,my copied element is getting
lost.

Could some one please help on this.

Regards,
Vikas

Hello Vikas,

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=129533.
Looks like this is a known problem. To work around it you have to use custom
resoruce factory for the domain model creating XMLResourceImpl subclasses
with overriden "useUUIDs" method. This method have to return "true" to switch
on GUIDS support.

Thanks Alex for the information.

Could you please tell me how exactly I can use custom resource factory
for the domain model creation.

Thanks once again.

Best Regards,
Vikas

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. I enabled the uuid's for elements in
semantic model but when paste happens, the element does not go into the
model.

One reason, why the element does not go into the model could be that the
original element and new element have same point ti the same location in
memory.
