API Drawing: Duplicate Object and Two Different Links

[mostafafad]

Dear Community,

I am autogenrating a diagram (using API, VB) of type overview of Application based on a specific Logic.

Consider the below case

I have an Application Pr Connected to Application SOA by a Link called X

The same application Pr is Connected to the same Application SOA by a link called Y

The Application Pr is duplicated on the diagram to be shown in two different places. Lets call these places top and bottom.

If I add the links then generate the diagram both Links X and Y will appear on the application Pr available in the Place Top, while no Links appear on the application Pr available in the place bottom.

Expected Result

Actual Result

Any Idea how to get over this?

Thank you,

Mostafa

Hello Mostafa,

I've been trying to do almost the same thing (I wanted to "copy" an existing diagram in a new one) but I did not succeed for the same type of situation you describe (identifying correct duplicated object when drawing links).

If anybody has a solution, it would be very helpfull !
