Using Entry/Exit points with composite states.
« on: January 24, 2013, 01:22:30 am »
I would like to know how to use entry and exit states to enter and exit a composite state.

My situation is similar to this


I have a composite state to which I have added one entry and one exit state. My problem is that these are not visible in the contained submachine.

The submachine should look something like this:


But I cant see or find a way to make the entry and exit states show up, so I can connect to them.

Of secondary importance but still of interest is how I could create a scenario like this:


Where a connector actually goes between two state machines without an entry or exit.

In your embedded diagram select the composite state and from the context menu choose Embedded Elements/Embedded Elements...
Select all entry/exit points you want to see and you're done.
