Include sequence diagram?

[kuchhal]

Hi!, is there a way in Enterprise Architect to draw symbols that depicts that I am referring to one sequence diagram in another? For example the "include" message used in this figure - http://www.agilemodeling.com/style/sequenceDiagram.htm#Figure3

I tried using "Use Case" symbol but that also gets drawn as rectangle and not as ellipse.

HI!

The same way as is described at agilemodeling.com is not possible (unfortunatelly) You have two another:
1) add related use case to the diagram as a diagram element with own lifeline and connect them by the message with the name <<include>>
2) use UML 2 feature - Fragment. Drag and drop Child Sequence diagram of the related Use Case to the diagram. "Ref" Fragment will be created. Then use Diagram Gate and connect them with message as in 1)
