Hi,
On my diagram I have a node(A) which has children(B,C) currently this is a
containment relationship where B and C can only be drawn inside A, is
there a way to change this into a normal link on the diagram?

Thanks in advance,
Gary

Hi Gary,

not sure to understand.

But if yes, you need to change the gmfmap : remove the child reference to B and C and create a link mapping

Hi, maby I didn't explain too well, let me try again!

If my canvas(A) has a child(B)
and child(B) has children(C,D)

Is there a way to get C and D to be nodes mapped to my canvas(A) and not
contained inside B?

...Hope this is a better explination
Thanks,
Gary
