Sequece number in communication diagrams

[gismo]

I'm quite new to Enterprise Architect and I'm wondering how to create sequence numbers with alphabetic characters like 1a or 1.1b in communications diagrams?

Thanks

Nothing really built into EA for this...

You could of course incorporate them into the title, or add a tagged value, where you could store your value...

You have not really discussed HOW you are going to make use of them?

If it is for documentation purposes, rather than diagram views, you could derive the path from the connector table in SQL, and then trace the references (think navigate linked list) and generate a sequence value for each step that way? (I do something similar for deriving paths through an activity diagram...)

Hope that helps!
