Copy a sequence diagram

[ASP]

Hey, folks.

I'm using EA version 6.5.803.

I would like to duplicate a sequence diagram and save it with a new name. Right-clicking the diagram name in the Project Browser does not reveal a conventional "copy" operation.

To work around this, I decided to select the contents of the sequence diagram (Edit > Select All), copy the selected elements and paste them into an existing blank sequence diagram.

Unfortunately, the "Select All" operation only selects elements and fragments in my sequence diagram. It neglects messages. Since a number of messages in the original sequence diagram assigns "New" to the lifecycle attribute, the vertical placment of the elements is crucial.

The copied version, which neglects messages, places all elements at the same vertical position.

I would like to decompose the original sequence diagram into a number of separate sequence diagrams, but I'd hate to have to recreate the same stuff.

Have I missed something that allows me execute the copy operation that I need?

Thanks for your help.


Regards,

Anthony

Look at 'Duplicate' in the index of the help file.

In release 6.5, the context menu for a diagram name in the Project Browser lists the option Copy diagram to clipboard. In later releases this is shortened to Copy Diagram.  

You should have been able to see this option in the procedure you described. Wasn't it there?
