Convert messages to operations

[Fintan]

Hi All,

Is it possible to automatically convert messages from Collaboration and/or Sequence diagrams into operations of the classes that they point to?

I cannot find anything that can do this in EA.  This seems like a simple process to automate and would reduce the amount of duplicate work that the modeller would need to do.

Have I missed something?

Regards,

Fintan

Hi Fintan,

I know it is possible to select defined operations for use as messages in collaboration diagrams- just make sure that the "Show Inherited Methods" checkbox is checked when adding a message.  Also, you can add operations to the classes objects are based on by selecting the object and right clicking, then selecting "Operations" (or click it on the toolbar).  Once added, the new operations can be added as messages.

Cheers,
