segregate/decompose large sequence diagrams

[Mr. Sanders]

Hello,

we would be very pleased about that feature:

When sequence diagrams grow through their live cycle it is often later recognised, which part of it can be a sequence diagram of its own to be referenced in other diagrams (like loops, optional parts, etc.)

Currently one has to draw this  parts  as a separate diagram and then can add it as a reference to the original diagram and has to remove the messages out of the original diagram.

This is very cumbersome.

It would be much more easy to add a fragment element to the original large sequence diagram and than being able to create a new diagram from all objects and messages in this fragment by converting it to a referenced diagram.

This is the straigth forward way to cut large diagrams into smaller pieces.

Regards
Michael

Yes, refactoring tools for sequence (or other) diagram. That would be great!
