[gme-users] hierarchie cross-references

[Mirko Bleyh]

Thanks so far Zoli, I guess option A is the best at the moment.

But still I think there should be another way to model containment. I am missing the feature of draging one element onto the other, and having both in one "repository" (meaning accessible in that model). Because in my opinion, what GME offers as MODEL elements, is a refinement, but that is not nesessarily the same as containment. Or am I missing something?

Regards,
Mirko
