Archimate automatic nesting (#1711)
Dear Dusan
for Archimate I am using Archimate-Tool (archi) but I was intested to see if I could integrate some Archimate models into normal SIM projects.
I was surprised, that the two structural relationships (composition and aggregation) do not support automatic nesting - which is an important feature for me.
May I only missed this feature?
Thanks for checking this request.

Steps for reproduction:
1. Creation of parent and children elements
2. Adding compositon or aggregation relationship
3. Moving the child elements into the parent element
Desired outcome: Relationship of nested elements is hidden.
The Archimate 3.1 specification shows the behaviour of nested elements. (5.1.1 Composition Relationship; 5.1.2 Aggregation Relationship)
