Settings for entry /exit actions to show up in state machine diagram

[WQW1DX]

Hi,

I created a State Machine, added a State from the Toolbar and added an Entry-Action via Features & Properties > Operations to the State. I'd now like this Entry-Action to show up in the visualization of my state, e.g.: + entry / someEntryAction(); like it does for example in the Resource of the State Machine Diagram here: https://www.sparxsystems.eu/resources/project-development-with-uml-and-ea/state-machine-diagram/, but my State stays empty except it's name on top.


This is how I'd like the states to look:



What are the right settings to have the entry / exit actions show up in the visualization of a state?

Thanks & regards,
WQW1DX

It should show per default. So there can be a couple of reasons you turned it off. First check the diagram properties / Features to the right if all check marks are set.

The Feature Dialog looks like this:

Feature Options:

• Show Qualifiers and Visibility Indicators
• Show Stereotypes
• Show Property String
• Show Operation Return Type
[_] Suppress Brackets for Operations without Parameters
[_] Always Show Linked Features

Show Attribute Detail: "Name and Type"


• Public
• Protected
• Private
• Package
• Property Methods

Show Parameter Detail: "Type Only"

I saw your question on SO, so it must be something else. Try with a blank new EAP file and see what happens. Look what MDGs you have turned on.

In the Operations dialog under Behaviour you have the check "Show Behavior in Diagram".

Thanks qwerty and PeterHeintz - the combination of your answers did the trick.
Looks like my EA is weirdly misconfigured...
