	I create a frame, and then create a diagram on a panel, do work, then close the panel and set the panel to null. I open a new panel from the same frame and get the anchor pattern string identifier must be unique error message. I tried setting the anchor pattern to null as well. What am I missing? Thanks

	AnchorPattern (and Shape) definitions are stored in a static list in order to share them between Diagram instances. Try reusing already defined AnchorPattern objects instead of creating them again when opening a new panel: Code AnchorPattern myPattern = AnchorPattern.fromId("myPattern"); if (myPattern == null) myPattern = new AnchorPattern(..., "myPattern"); I hope that helps, Stoyan

	I close the panel, reopen it and test anchor is null, so it recreates the anchor private AnchorPattern testAnchor if (testanchor == null) { testanchor = new AnchorPattern(new AnchorPoint[]{ new AnchorPoint(50, 0, true, false, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red), new AnchorPoint(50, 100, true, false, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red), new AnchorPoint(0, 50, true, false, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red), new AnchorPoint(100, 10, false, true, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red), new AnchorPoint(100, 20, false, true, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red), new AnchorPoint(100, 30, false, true, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red), new AnchorPoint(100, 40, false, true, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red), new AnchorPoint(100, 50, false, true, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red), new AnchorPoint(100, 60, false, true, MarkStyle.Circle, Color.red)}, "test name"); } Do I have to use the exact method you wrote about or should this work? Thanks

	Yes, you must call fromId to check if it isn't already stored in the diagram's static list of AnchorPatterns. Alternatively, just make your testAnchor object static too and initialize it only once for the application.

	That worked. Thanks for your patience. My second task is programming so I am not totally up to speed on it.
