Suppress display of concurrent substates
« on: July 12, 2005, 04:45:51 am »
Hello.

I have a state-machine (lets say on diagram A) with a submachine in it. The sub-machine contains entry- and exit-points.

Then I go to the diagram (diagram B) of the sub-machine. There I put the symbol of the submachine on it and make the entry and exit points visible. I define concurrent sub-states on that sub-machine.

When I return to diagram A then the symbol of the submachine has changed its size and furthermore it displays the sections of the sub-states.

That is an undesired side-effect. How can I avoid it?

Thanks.

JJ?,  You are quite right, it IS an undesired side-effect and it's probably a bug.  Formally report it as such.  

You should be able to suppress anything that can be included within the sub-machine.  Not just Entry and Exit points.
