Numeric Range Generator

You can also use the 'Configure Timeline' dialog to create a range of states having numeric values to be applied to the Timeline.

Important: This operation deletes all existing states and transitions for the Timeline element.

Create a range of states having numeric values

Step	Action
1	Double-click on the Lifeline element. The 'Configure Timeline' dialog displays.
2	Click on the Create Continuous Numeric States button. The 'Numeric Range Generator' dialog displays.
3	In the 'High Value' and 'Low Value' fields, type the upper and lower values of the range.
4	In the 'Step Value' field, type the increase interval. Nonsense values do not parse; 'Low Value' must be less than 'High Value', and 'Step Value' must be a positive value smaller than the total range.
5	In the 'Units' field, type the name of the measurement unit; for example, 'minutes'.
6	Click on the OK button. Enterprise Architect displays a warning that existing states and transitions are to be deleted.
