Hi all,

As shown in the following figure, I try to create a designer to represent such a diagram.

index.php/fa/33782/0/

So I have a black container. Its children are represented as a horizontal stack (yellow sub-container and red sub-container).
The children representation of the red sub-container is Free Form. And inside it, I need to create some green sub-container connected using blue edges.
The issue is, as shown in the following screenshot, that I didn't success to create Element Based Edge or Relation Based Edge inside the red sub-container.

index.php/fa/33783/0/

The contextual menu doesn't provide the capability to create such a diagram element.

Is it a Sirius limitation?
Otherwise, how can I create an edge inside a sub-container?

best,

FaZa

Hi FaZa,

You can simply create the wanted edges, you do not encounter a limitation, it is just the fact that edges are defined as children of a Layer,.
Then their source/target mappings will control where they will be drawn. So if you want to create edge in the red subcontainer, you need to create hte edge mappings as children of the parent layer and then use the green container as source and target mappings.

Yes Maxime!
I resolved the issue in this way. All edges must be declared in the layer.
Please a second question
From a containerView to a semantic element, I navigate using this expression
containerView.oclAsType(viewpoint::DSemanticDecorator).target.oclAsType(....)
However, how can navigate in the opposite sense, i.e., from the semantic element to the view?
thanks
