How do I specify entry/exit actions on a state?
« on: December 01, 2012, 05:36:36 am »
I created a State Machine diagram and added a State from the toolbox. I am trying to specify an entry action for it (should appear inside the state element as if it was an attribute or operation, e.g. "+ On Entry / Do something").

I see it done in screenshots in EA's help file and elsewhere, but nothing in the State Properties dialog or toolbars seem to support this.

Using EA 9.3.934.

Does anybody know of a way to do this?

Dan

Right-click the [highlight]State [/highlight]element (on a diagram) and select [highlight]Operations[/highlight].

You will see the entry / do  / exit settings in a drop down [highlight]Action[/highlight]

Cheers Phil
Models are great!
Correct models are even greater!

Thanks Phil,

I just discovered this. I don't know how I missed this before.
