Splitting and recombining Sequence diagrams

[frankk]

I need to take fragments from several Sequence diagrams and recombine them into a new diagram. Ideally, I could just copy and paste the pieces I need, but this doesn't work (none of the messages are copied).

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

In general, I often encounter the case where a diagram grows too large and I want to split it up.

You can insert a reference to a sequence diagram by drag and drop.
I created a thread about references (and it's bug). You can find it here:

Yes, thanks, I have done that :-)

But that does not address my current problem, which is: how to pull apart and recombine diagrams into new diagrams.

Usually you can copy and paste elements between different diagrams. No idea whether that also works for sequence diagrams.

I think if you need to reuse a certain interaction between objects which is long or complicated enough to be copied then may be it SHOULD be a separate digram referenced by others.
But I guess there might be corner cases...
