Hey does anybody know how to realize the model and diagram separation in gmf? Like in RSA class diagram modeling.. when adding a class element on a class diagram ,the element does not belong to the diagram which means deleting the diagram will not delete the element at the same time.. so in this case ,the element is not the child node of a diagram but on the same level ..

anybody knows? could anyone give me some tip? i need to realize this as soon as possible:-)

Hello!

Model (semantic) element doesn't belong to a diagram.
So deleting the whole digram will not lead to loss of a model element,
unless you haven't turned on the option GenEditorGenerator#sameFileForDiagramAndModel on generation.
Even if the option is specified, diagram and model aren't mixed, but are neighbours in the file, so you'll be able to remove the whole diagram without affecting the model.
