Answer:
Apparently it can't be done. I got the following from the SA Support team: In System Architect there is no "Sub-node" definitions and that the "sub-nodes" are just nodes that exist within a child diagram of a "parent node". The information what is displayed in the HELP file is misleading because we don't draw the OV2s in the same manner that's depicted in the HELP. The "sub nodes" are "Operational Nodes" in the repository and we have to relate the Op Activities to each of those nodes within the matrix. Oh, well, have to find another approach.

In the SA training class for System Architect with DODAF ABM, the slides included an example built around a gas station fastpass system. There are a pair of slides (not part of the example worked with the tool) showing Top Level and Drill Down OV-2 diagrams, one with the needlines connecting to the Gas Station and a second showing a Pump and a Gas Station Office within the Gas Station, with the same needlines (indicated by an NL xxx label) connected directly to the Pump and Office. This is sort of analogous to the SV-1 diagrams developed in the UAV exercise in the class, where the SDXes can be between the systems nodes or between the systems within the nodes. I have a project where this approach would be really useful. Is there any way to either: A) generate such a nested OV-2 through some sort of parent / child balancing of needlines? or B) create such a diagram without creating redundant needlines (e.g., one to the outer object [the Gas Station] and one to the inner object [the Gas Pump]) that are really the same thing but are treated as two different definitions in the tool? Any insight will be helpful.

Another guy working this project came up with some information about using subnodes to do this, which looks like the right thing. Problem is, we don't see how to create or designate something as a subnode. Has anyone worked with that?
