Hi Guys

I am having a small problem with a tablenode attached to a shapenode. When you the run a layout (AnnealLayout) it separates the attachednode from the shapenode.

If you use your Telephony VB example and add a simple button with teh following code and run it you will see what I mean; select the Input Sequence icon with atached tabel to drop onto the diagram       

Dim layout As MindFusion.Diagramming.Layout.AnnealLayout = New MindFusion.Diagramming.Layout.AnnealLayout
       layout.Arrange(view.Diagram)

How can I stop the tablenode from being detached from the shapenode after a layout operation?

regards

As always your advice is perfect; the ignorelayout property worked a treat.

The KeepGroupLayout worked better as the tablenode that I attached had quite a few rows and this property kept all the nodes nicely spaced after the layout.

Thank you
Doug
