State Machine Diagram elements

[Gary W.]

Hi,

From the 'up arrow', I can drag and release, creating elements such as:
- entry
- exit
- terminate
- deep history
- etc.

But I don't see these on the toolbox under "State".  I actually like the 'up arrow' shortcuts, but it's odd that these elements aren't in the toolbox

Did you check the UML elements in Tools | Options | UML Element Toolbox?

You might also want to check View | Configure Perspectives.

Yes, they're all there.. but when I took a closer look at the UML Toolbox, I now see that the up/down arrows on the neighbouring buttons are for scrolling up/down this current list.

You might also want to check View | Configure Perspectives.

Well, now that you mention it, I notice the dropdown box on the top of the Toolbox.  I swear it wasn't there in older versions of EA but I could be wrong  

I was going to post with a rant on how non-intuitive the up/down arrows were, but when used in combination with 'perspectives', I've discovered that I *like* filtering the available diagram elements, and I can get used to the 'up/down arrows in the neighbouring buttons'.

Good job, Sparx.  I'm liking version 6.5 more and more, and am sorry I didn't migrate off of my older version sooner.

Cheers,

It wasn't, but that's the nature of software updates.  They change things.
