Uml Process / Object flow from ObjectNode to Action

« on: July 18, 2016, 03:42:47 pm »

Hello,

is there any restriction which does not allow an object flow from an ObjectNode to an ActionPin, like shown below?


All those examples I've seen, look like those below:


Thanks in advance..

General Board / Show element notes, when not using rectangle notation

« on: December 22, 2015, 12:54:32 am »

Hello all,

I would like to know whether it is possible to show the element notes via "Feature and Compartment Visibility" when not using the rectangle notation of an element.
I've tried that on an action and also on an activity and I prefer to use the standard notation with rounded corners.

Thanks in advance

Do you have any hints for realizing this design or is it usual to use the Object without any further detailed description of which attributes are affected?

Thanks for the hint (Link-To-Element feature).

But one final question:
In the project browser, I cant see any attribute of Mike. My assumption was, when I create an Attibute of the type User (Mike is from type User), I should be able to see all the attributes of all Subclasses which are defined in User):
- Address.Address
- Address.City
- Address.ZipCode
- UserInfo.Name
- UserInfo.Surname
- UserInfo.Age

But instead, Mike has no attributes. What is the reason for that. If I use Mike in my AD, and show all attributes, it still looks the same (left side), but I would like to have it like it is on the right side to be able to link my incoming edge.

Hi,

Set Age must no be necessarily an operation, I want it to be modeled as an action, so I don't see how this will help me.

What I want to depict is an specific Object-Flow from action item Set Age to Object Mike attribute UserInfo.Age instead of having an Object-Flow to Mike itself

Hi Guy's,

I have the following issue and I have no idea how to deal with it.



There is an action "Set Age" which should set the age of the object Mike, where Mike is an object of the Class User.

My question now is: How do I realize this? If I drag&drop Mike into an activity diagram, it will placed as an object and I don't know how to show that the action "Set Age" is setting Mikes age.

Thanks in advance!

According to the descriptions, I'd suggest that the last example with both flows, object and control, should be modelled.  :-/

General Board / Object and Control - Flows

« on: October 27, 2015, 07:38:59 pm »

Hi all,

I'm kind of confused regarding the usage of Object and Control-Flows in UML.

An Object-Flow is defined as following:
"An object flow is an activity edge that only passes object and data tokens."
Control-Flows are defined as:
"A control flow is an edge that starts an activity node after the previous one is finished."

Problem:
I wanted to model the following scenario:
Action1 (executed first) is passing data to Action2 (executed after Action1).



Question:
1. Is it enough to model this scenario via an Object-Flow (2nd approach in the image)? My concern regarding this procedure is, that an Object-Flow is not the right way to model an "execution-flow" (Control-Flow.
2. Or, do I have to (or can I) connect them with both Flows, an Object and Control-Flow as it is done in the image above, to show the flow of data and control?

Thanks..

Thanks, using rectangular notation is fine for me.

Hi,

both settings are set, but it's still not displayed the way I want it to (see pic).
I want to have the not at the end of the arrow.

General Board / Displaying notes within an element

« on: September 03, 2015, 05:44:48 pm »

Hi guys,

is it possible to display element notes within the element itself?
I know that notes are shown within a tooltip but how do I directly show them e.g. below the elements name instead or additionally to the Notes window?

Thx

General Board / Re: Placing (dashed) lines and dashed high phases

« on: July 10, 2015, 06:37:18 pm »

Hi,

I've found the following in UML 2.5 specification (http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.5/Beta2/PDF/):

A Lifeline is shown using a symbol that consists of a rectangle forming its “head” followed by a vertical line (which may be dashed) that represents the lifetime of the participant. (PDF page 644; Chapter 17.3.4 Notation; Lifeline)

It seems like dashed lifelines are generally possible, but not possible in EA?
