Change an Activity Initial to a Synch
« on: December 14, 2004, 01:28:29 pm »
Activity diagrams.

Now that the entire model is coming together, it is now apparent that some of the start nodes on the flows shouldhave been modelled as synch elements - a pedantic need but nonetheless...

But how can I change them?  The Change element type function treats them all as "StateNode"  and I cant see anything that differentiates them in the properties.

Any ideas?

Well Bruce,
not really. Add the synch and make new connections. Probably a macro could support you in doing so.

Bruce,

The only difference I can find between a Synch and ActivityInitial is in the t_object.NType field: ActivityInitial has the value 100; Synch has the value 6. This field is available in the Automation Interface as Element.Subtype.  Search the help file for "subtype".

HTH,

Neil
