Direction of Send and Recieve

[Stasch]

Does anyone have a way to change the direction of a Send or Receive object from an Analysis diagram.  It seems they only appear one way from left-to-right.

Any input is appreciated.

I can't test this, but you should be able to change the element type from the context menu.

Right click the send or receive shape and on the popup menu select Advanced -> Make Sender (or Receiver)

Cheers,
David.

Thanks for your reply.  

I have a certain situation where the Sending will be going form right-to-left in the diagram.  I still want to keep the object as a send object, not a receive object.

You can do it by adding a stereotype with a shape script.

eg. «reverse send» base class event.

Shape Script

Code: [Select]

shape main
{

startpath();

moveto(30,0);

lineto(100,0);

lineto(100,100);

lineto(30,100);

lineto(0,50);

endpath();

fillandstrokepath();



addsubshape("name", 100,100);

shape name

{


h_align = "center";


v_align = "center";


editablefield = "name";


println("#name#");

}
}
