PI90339: API POPULATEDIAGRAMS INCORRECTLY ADDS ANCHORED ELEMENT

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I create classes A-G. Class G is anchored to a comment. I add
  all
  classes to a diagram using the populate method and the
  elementsToPopulate argument to "among". The anchored comment is
  only
  added to the diagram when I include "Anchor" in the collection
  for the
  relationTypes argument. If you do this, then the anchored
  element is
  considered "among" the others. I agree this is contrary to the
  definition in the javadoc: "If you use 'among', only the
  elements you
  specified will be included".
