Switching Objects in a Sequence Diagram?
« on: August 07, 2008, 07:03:08 am »
Hi,

I created a series of sequences, then generated java code from them. After making changes in the code from an IDE, I wanted to update EA to reflect the changes. I couldn't make synchronization work so I imported the codebase again, giving me two copies of the original code & the updated objects. I'd like to delete the original objects but make sure my sequence diagrams map to the new ones so I don't wreck the diagrams.

Is there any way to do this? If not, I could use some ideas on why synchronization skipped all my files, as well as how to avoid this situation in the future.

Okay, figured it out.
It turns out that a lot of the objects I have in my model will in fact sync when I attempt to do so in EA.
For those that don't I was able to go to the sequence diagram, insert the "new" version of the object, then right-click on each message to the "old" object, select Advanced....Set Source And Target.
More Tedious than if I were able to simply drag the end-point of the message in the diagram, but I'll take what I can get.
