Category: Behaviour diagram > Interaction diagram
UML diagram, which shows how objects communicate with one another and in what order in terms of a sequence of messages.
When you place the destruction cross, the lifeline should automatically be stopped.
I can't find the signature options like return type, ref etc.
attribute = name (arguments) : return-type
Dušan, is it possible to use gates when referencing other sequence diagram?
I'm trying to drop the call action arrow going from the border of SD, but fail...
Gates are not yet supported. I will add them in version 5.
I am considering using this tool in the Systems Analysis and Design course I teach. You seem to have the diagramming mechanisms nailed down quite nicely for our purposes. However, I don't see how this tool ensures consistency among diagrams. E.g., I create an actor in a use case diagram; now I build a sequence diagram and want to use the actor already defined in use case - it looks like I have to create another actor.
Am I missing step you already provide?
This seems to be a problem. I'll check it out and I'll fix it in the next release.
Other types of elements can be shared among diagrams - switch project tree to 'All Entities' view and drag the desired element from list of entities to diagram.
Hi,
How can I remove a ref frame(interaction use) which is attached to a timeline. If I delete this ref frame will the timeline be removed too.
You should think, Ok I can use a workaround by drawing a new timeline but the activation bar is in this case not linked anymore to the new timeline-> you have to redraw everything(timline, call actions,...)
Kind Regards
Frank
*timeline=lifeline
Sorry for the inconvenience
it is bug and will be fixed soon.
The workaround:
Move lifeline so, that it doesn't intersect with interaction use element. Then move interaction use element and then delete it. Ref element should be so deleted and lifeline preserved.
Thanks!
How can I add a hot link to a new SD when I bring in the Interaction Use block?
Right-click on Interaction Use element and in the context menu click on Add New Diagram (and choose the Sequence diagram item) or Add Existing Diagram (and select an existing sequence diagram from the list).
How can I add the guard condition to the Alt Fragment?
Thanks in advance.
1. Press 'Interaction Operand' button in toolbox and hold mouse button pressed
2. Drag over Alt fragment and release mouse button
3. Double click on inserted rectangle (interaction operand) - properties dialog will be shown
4. Switch to Interaction Operand tab
5. Type the guard condition in the text box
6. Confirm the dialog using OK button
Drag&Drop does not seem to be working. I tried the Hotfix and it too did not work.
This is a great BTW.
The hotfix allowed to change the start and end activation bar of sequence message (call, return, send). It is not possible to change the parent lifeline of activation bar. I agree, that it would be useful - I will add this option in the next release.
I released a new version (4.98), which supports moving activation bar to another lifeline.
Hi! Is it possible to reroute call from one timeline to another?
Drag&drop does not works
Thanks
Hi! I'm sorry, but it is not yet possible. I will add this possibility in the next release.
Try this hot fix - it contains implementation of your request:

This fix will be part of version 4.98, which will be released within one or two weeks.
