FollowMasterRotation does not seem to work

I add a new shapenode
I add a smaller shapenode
I attach the small one to the big one, to the top left corner.
I then move the master object, sub object moves correctly.
I size the master object the sub object moves correctly.

I rotate the main object by 90 degrees clockwise:
the sub object stays where it was (I expected it to move with the corner, and not rotate itself)
I resize the master object, the sub object seems to move on a diagonal line (I expected it to be still attached to the proper corner, and move with it)

I am using the FollowMasterRotation property of the group.
Am i being stupid, or does the property it not work ?

This worked for me:

Code
Select All
if (!IsPostBack)
{
	Diagram diagram = view.Diagram;

	ShapeNode n1 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(10, 10, 100, 100);
	n1.EnabledHandles = AdjustmentHandles.All;

	ShapeNode n2 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(10, 10, 10, 10);
	n2.AttachTo(n1, AttachToNode.TopLeft);
	n1.SubordinateGroup.FollowMasterRotation = true;
}


What arguments are you passing to the AttachTo method?

Are you using NetDiagram and doing this from JavaScript code? I can see you've also posted in the FlowchartX section of the forum?

Your version works exactly how i want it to work.
My problem was that i was creating a group of all objects, then set the follow master option on that group. Which i guess now is wrong since there probably was no master box. I always thought that the first box added to the group was the master box. (it is the MainItem, is this not the same ?)
(fc being the diagram)

dim master, subordinate as shapenode
master = fc.Factory.CreateShapeNode(10, 10, 20, 40)
subordinate = fc.Factory.CreateShapeNode(10, 50, 20, 8 )
Dim group As Group = fc.Factory.CreateGroup(master)

' Attach the box to the newly created group
group.AttachToCorner(subordinate, 0)
group.FollowMasterRotation = True
master.RotationAngle = 90

Thanks for the solution

All looks good when rotating using the enabledhandles set to all, and then the user rotating using the handle. it does not seem to work when you just rotate the mainobject using the rotationangle property, do  i need to set something else if doing it programatically ?

I went back to my original code, and enabled handles, the followmaster seems to work when rotating with the handles. when i use the rotation angle = 90Degrees in code, then the sub objects do not move as expected.
Even worse is that after rotating, and then you decide to resize the main object, the sub objects go all over the joint, on a diagonal. even when you have rotated using the handles.
Any ideas ?
I need to be able to attach a small box to the top left of a main box, group it, then be able to rotate the main object by 90 degrees, keeping the sub objects fixed to the corner (which is top right now, after rotating 90 deg clockwise). once that is done, the user may decide to resize the main box, and the sub box needs to still move with the new corner (top right)
I don't feel that thisis anything special, has anyone got a sample of this please.

From what I can see in the code, the RotationAngle setter doesn't update the attached nodes at all. We'll add this tomorrow.
