Loop node ... too "complicated"
« on: April 20, 2015, 08:19:10 pm »
Hi,

I  have upgraded EA from version 8 to version 12.

The loop node in activity diagram became somehow too "big" and not readable with 3 section Setup, Test, Body..   I regret the previous Node representation that was easy to understand and was not filling so much space in the diagram.
I use EA to make simple activity charts , i do'nt generate anything from this diagram, it 's only to cummunicate process to  developpers.
I don't need the complexity of the "loop" element as it is represented now in EA.

COuld you give me a by pass to be able to instantia a simple "Loop" element ? Can we customize elements ?

thx

First Option - Create a Region set to be an iterative Expansion Region.
Second Option - Create a structured activity, but instead of selecting select other and then simple composite. (Optionally stereotype with loop or something similar)
