copy paste issue [message #248957]

Hi,

I'm trying to copy and paste single elements from a model into a new
model. Apparently it looks like it's done, since I can see a graphical
copy of that element, but if I add any other object to the diagram or try
to save changes and open the diagram back,
the copied elements disappear.

any ideas?? this is starting to drive me crazy. I haven't been able to
find any complete and clear example of a simple copy paste action.
Many people has already asked this issue on this list before me but it
seems like there aren't any convincing solution.

Please, help!

thank you!

hi markitus,

this sounds like that you don't modify your model persistently. so maybe
a refresh of the diagram let the copied elements disappear.
gef don't support a general drag and drop support, because this is a
model specific behavior (see
http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t45874.html). had you
implement any modelchanging commands for copy and paste until yet?

regards,
rené
