I am creating some plugins for specific use in my Company.
Some of them contribute (by code: Java) to a model.
So elements are added to a model in a code way.
I was wondering if it is possible to add a functionnality to update automatically the diagrams according to the elements added in the model (update diagrams elements view to add new elements automatically).


Reproducible: Always

Surely there is an API for this as there exists a diagram refresh button in Papyrus?
Comment 2 Camille Letavernier CLA 2013-09-26 11:10:26 EDT 
This is a different case. F5/Refresh diagram is for refreshing the graphical properties of displayed elements (Especially useful when manipulating stylesheets, because style properties can change, while the diagram itself remains unchanged)

Here, if I understand correctly, this is a request to automatically display new semantic elements on an existing diagram (e.g. you create a new Operation in a Class programatically, and it automatically gets displayed in the Class diagram).

There is currently no plan in Papyrus to support that.
Comment 3 Ronan Bar CLA 2013-10-01 10:47:25 EDT 
Ah I see. It would be a bad idea to have diagrams automatically in sync with the model. I though the bug was about having an API to add the elements to the diagram, this exists I assume? This item should be closed I think.
Comment 4 Vincent Lorenzo CLA 2017-09-26 15:35:52 EDT 
For an automatic update of a diagram, you should check the property "Sync with model" in the Appearance Tab of the property view.
I close the bug
