Node position on creation [message #1769550]

Dear,

I would like to know if it is possible to have a node automatically appear next to an associated element on creation.

So for example, when I create a node and associate it to an edge (via an Open Dialog or Wizard), it automatically pops up next to the edge.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Sonny

Hi,

There is a bug corresponding to this problem: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=519278
It will be fixed in the next release. Theoretically, the element must be created at the mouse click location.

Regards,

Laurent

Friends,

Is this bug fixed?

I'd like to create a node at the mouse click location, inside a container, but it is always created in the center of the diagram.

Tks.

Hello,

As you can see on the bugzilla, it is fixed (in Sirius 5.0.2 ) and reported through bugzilla 519117 to Sirius 5.1.0.

If your Node is not created in the container but in the diagram, I think that it is another problem. Maybe linked to your mapping description in the odesign file.

Laurent

Hello, Laurent.

Let me try to explain:

When I click in the container, the node appears (correctly related to the container), but in the middle of the diagram. So, I have to drag it back to the container. It's just an extra job for the user (drag back the node). If the node were already positioned in the container, it would be better. I think the initial position where the node is created could be clearer.

PS: it's not a problem of mapping. Just positioning.

Tks for your attention.

Regards.

Hello,

If you have a simple reproduction use case, you can create a bug here [1]. Indeed, in theory, the middle of the diagram is used to create a node when Sirius as no information about where to create the node (for example when the clicked container does not correspond to the parent where the node is finally created). But in other case, the mouse location should be used.

Laurent

Laurent,

I think it's not a bug because it only happens to me haha... It's probably a wrong configuration.

I followed the Sirius Tutorial to make the container and it seems easy (my project works fine). What fields in odesign file do you suggest I see to analyze this little problem?

Regards.
