Sequence Diagram
« on: January 07, 2014, 09:29:35 pm »
Hi
I am working on a sequence diagram and when I drag a class from the project browser onto the sequence diagram it always adds it as a Link whereas I want it to add as a lifeline.
So I used ctrl+drag to display the options dialog and change it to lifeline, then use the options button to say 'Auto save selection as default'.
But the next time I drag on item onto the sequece diagram it reverts to a link.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Can anyone suggest how I can get EA to automatically use lifeline?

Thanks

It's broken, isn't it. The dialog can't cope with a default of "Lifeline". Try going to a class diagram, Ctrl+dragging a class onto a diagram and setting the default to "Instance" then go back to the sequence diagram and drag (not ctrl+drag) classes onto the sequence diagram. That should work.

Edit: just put a fix in for code review, so no bug report needed...

Playing ping-pong are we?
First the selection for "Link" was broken and you couldn't select Instance as default, now the other way around  :P
