How to synchronize layouts between 2 representations? [message #1481746]

I have 2 representations R1 & R2 that represent the same model.

The 2 representations are already opened in two diagram editors, and user can see 2 editor at the same time.
What I need is to synchronize layout of R2 with R1. If layout of R1 is changed, layout of R2 have to be changed automatically.

It took me several days to find a solution to do that. And I still have no solution. So please tell me How can I do that?

Thank you very much!

Why do you need to keep those diagrams synchronised?

You could provide a
org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.ModelChangeTrigger to the
org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.SessionEventBroker. The
SessionEventBroker is registered as a precommit listener and will
delegate the job to the ModelChangeTriggers. The idea is to react to the
GMF Bounds changes and update the other diagram.

You can obtain the SessionEventBroker from
org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.Session.getEventBroker().
