Creating SequenceFlow, MessageFlow and Association
« on: August 23, 2011, 11:55:59 pm »
Hi All,

I'm using EA version 7.5 and I am a newbie to the automation interface.

I have a diagram with a few activities which I want to create SequenceFlows, MessageFlows and Associations for.

I was wondering how i got about doing this?

Do I create a diagramobject of type SequenceFlow and set the source and target or do need to find the source activity and create a connector to the target activity.

I'm not quite sure what approach I need to take as the documentation and sample codes in the ver 7.5 documentation is pretty crap.

Cheers

Skuz

Hi,

What you'll need to do is create connectors of the correct type between the objects shown on your diagram.
Then in most cases (except for sequence diagrams I think) the connectors will be shown automatically on every diagram that shows both ends.
It might be necessarily for sequence diagrams to add a DiagramLink to explicitly tell it to show.
