Generate Scenario From Activity Diagram
You can generate a range of diagrams from a scenario in an element. Conversely, you can also generate a structured scenario within an element from an Activity diagram, reverse engineering the steps from the diagram elements (effectively either regenerating the scenario within the Use Case, or transferring a scenario into another Use Case).

Notes
| • | The source Activity diagram must be generated from another Use Case Scenario |
| • | Any existing scenario steps are deleted and replaced by the generated scenario |
| • | This facility does not operate on the enhanced Activity diagrams generated from a Use Case - those generated with ActivityParameters, Actions and Action Pins |
