more than one instance of elements?

[ufechner]

Hello,

to avoid dublification of substates I need the possibility to use
parametrizised substates.

Example:
In the model of the user interface I have a substate to enter
a doselimit.
I need it twice in the main state diagram, once to enter the
4h doselimit and once for the 8h doselimit.

If I try to drag the substate a second time on the main state
diagram, I get the error message:
"Only one instance of element allowed!"

- when will this limitation be removed?
- is there a known workaround?

Regards:

This is very important to me. I need it when drawing Activity Diagrams. I have to be able to insert the same Object along an activity diagrams more than once. If I use a similar Object with the same name, the problem is that the GUIID's will be different. I use Guiid for some automation processes.

Best Ragards,
Navid

Another vote for this!

Hi,
This is really essential when you create "dynamic" diagrams i.e. statecharts or activity. So I vote for this too!

Some of our teams use following technique: they drop activities as invocations (actions). But actions created in this way have one disadvantage: they do not allow to easily present description of parent activity.
