Hello,
I find if an element is mapped as child reference to a top reference,it
can't be drawn outside the compartment.That means if I want to draw that
element,I must first draw the container element.If there is a way to
define the .gmfmap that the child element can be drawn not only in the
compartment of container element but also outside the container?

Thanks!

ye

Hello Ye,

Create one more TopNodeReference with corresponding NodeMapping below. If
you'd like to reuse this node mapping in an existing ChildReference then
you can remove NodeMapping currently created below ChildReference and use
"referencedChild" property of ChildReference to point to the NodeMapping
below TopNodeReference.
