How to duplicate the same instance element [message #1765624]

Hi,

I'm creating an editor. The model in the editor has some diagrams. I need to be able to have the same element instance in some diagrams. I do not add the instance element in the odesign because I need the final user to be able to duplicate the exactly same instance where the user wants to. Copy/paste does not work because it creates a copy of the instance and I need the same instance to be drawed in different diagrams.

How can I do that? Should I add a option menu in an element? or change the odesig? Or programatically?

Thank you so much for your help!

Lina

Hi Lina,

Graphical elements are inevitably link to a semantic element.
If you want have the same semantic element display graphically in different diagram you can use the Reused in the Import tab.
I joined you an example as I explain.
Other solution is to defined in specification file (.odesign) a mapping (node or container or edge) on the same semantic element.
