Connection handling for movement, size change, and placement operations

In a BPMN diagram, certain connections have an explicit semantic meaning. They are exclusively invisible or embedded connections.

Such connections are automatically created and deleted if objects are moved or resized.

Changes to visual relationships between an embedding object and an embedded object trigger the automatic creation or deletion of connections. These are:

  • Move

  • Change of size

  • Placement of an object

  • Create a definition copy

  • Create an occurrence copy

  • Use of drag and drop to drag an object into a BPMN diagram (in the Explorer)
