Hi Lynne...
Nope .. anything other than a referenced image will be ignored. DITA
doesn't support "graphic objects" and knows noting about a "frame" so
those bits are not considered valid. Could try pasting from another
file, but I'd bet it won't work. This isn't how the structure app (and
DITA support) was intended to be used, so it's not supported.
Rick ..
I'm not exactly sure where this processing is done and how FM knows that
the file is "DITA". If this processing is done "on save" then it's
likely the import/export client. I think that FMx knows when you're in a
binary file vs. XML and allows this flexibility in the binary file
(would need to test to be sure).
If the customer wants to work in a DITA structured model in an FM binary
file, I would create a new structure app that doesn't use the ditafm_app
import/export client. That's not needed if they are sticking in the
binary world, and may eliminate this processing.
Cheers,
...scott

Scott,
What happens if you put a rectangle of the desired aframe size with
no border and no fill in the anchored frame? Will that hold the
desired space? Also, can you create the aframe with all desired
objects in another document and paste it where it's needed?

While it would seem that you can use DITA as the model for a
structured FM binary file, it's really not a good idea. There are a
handful of areas (like this) that it's assuming you're working in
XML, and will cause trouble. All I can suggest is that if you do want
to put multiple objects in the frame, make sure that the first object
is a referenced image and that image is large enough (extra white
space) to accommodate all of the expected content. That way the
auto-shrinkwrap will size to that image, and *should* work reasonably.
