external message on seq.diag

[ijese]

Hi, everybody!

Is it possible to make the sequence diagram beginn with the external message (with no object "on the left side")?

I'm used to sketch like this on paper, but I can't figure how to do it in EA.

Tnx

You can use a Diagram gate or a State/Continuation (see interaction toolbox). It's also possible to use a fragment, but I'm not sure anymore how to use it properly (surround all or a part of the sequence diagram with the fragment, give it the name of e.g. a method and so it shows the insides of that method).
