Hello,

i have a model, where a Container have 0..* activities of type Activity. The Container itself is also of type Activity. In my Diagram i want to be able to move activities in and out the Containers. In my odesign i use a Container Drop together with a Move operation:

The Move operation is specifed like this:

However, when i drag and drop an Activity on a Container, like this:

Eclipse freezes and i have to kill it. So i got no error msg. Any idea what is going wrong? I am not sure if my odesign file is even valid ... Rolling Eyes

Instead of define a "Move" operation, you should perform the move
"semantically".
I don't know your meta-model but if the relation between a Container and
an Activity is a containment relation, you just need to affect the
Activity to the container relation where it has been dropped. That
should look like something like that:

Begin
Change Context [newSemanticContainer/]
Set
Feature name : yourContainementFeature
Value Expression : var:element


A good example is the "Ecore Tools" modeler:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/ecoretools/org.eclipse.ecoretools.git/tree/org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.design/description/ecore.odesign

You can take a look on the "Drop EClassifier into EPackage" Container
Drop for instance.

Works like a charm!

Btw.: In which case do you use the 'Move Operation' then?

Given a newContainer, an element to add and the name if a containing
feature, it is up to you to choose between both constructions:

Set operation:
. changeContext newContainer
. set containmentFeatureName element

Move operation:
. changeContext element
. move newContainer containmentFeatureName

The move operation will log an error if the feature upper bound is 1 and
if a value is already specified for the new container.
