Hello All,
I am trying to customise some UML operations like adding / deleting relations between classes. I do the operations using some VBA macros. But I am stuck up updating the class diagrams after I am done with my changes in relations.... My model is kind of huge.... So that makes it difficult to remember and select all the class names to draw a new class diagram by Rhapsody Populate Diagram feature in Add New Structure Diagram.

I want to create a diagram using the same macro, so I that I dont need to remember all of it.
I found that we can do this IRPDiagram by addnewnodeforelement.
But this way I am not able to arrange the all nodes and relation edges in a hierarchial or orthogonal layout.. Which was possible when I do by the Rhapsody Populate Diagram feature.....
Is there a way to arrange the layout for the diagram by a VBA API?

Please help !!!! i would reallly appreciate any suggestions
VJ

Vijay:
The AddNewNodeForElement() operation requires that you specify the x and y coordinates of the symbol on the diagram as well as the symbol height and width. You can easily create any layout structure you want by calculating the values for these coordinates.

FYI PopulateDiagram is now available through the API
