Hello!
In my project when naming the objects and properties I've used a prefix that starts with _. I have successfully created all of them and added to graph. In my graph objects can have simple roles of "child" and "parent". So, when I tried to connect two objects I got a dialog message that this operation cannot be done because "Type has been deleted". After removing _ from the object name everything was fine. So now I try to guess (just out of curiosity): if it is a natural behaviour and maybe using of _ is prohibited when naming the objects? Or is it a strange bug with my project that may have happened? Thanks for this great tool! |

_ is used as a prefix for abstract types, i.e. types that should not be instantiated. You probably got the message when trying to add an object as a property value. The error message should say "...deleted or abstract" - I've now corrected that, thanks for pointing it out! |

Exactly, it was a property that is a collection of objects. Sorry for not pointing that out. Well, now it is clear for me. Appreciate your answer! |
