Activity Diagram and Constraints
« on: August 13, 2008, 11:25:22 pm »
I want to show constraints in an Activity Diagram. I've tried enabling it by right-clicking the diagram and checking the box:
Show Compartments -> Constraints
I've also used:
Element->Feature visibility-> Constraints
And nothing works. If anyone knows how to solve this please let me know.

Additional compartments for most (but not all) non-rectangular form elements (such as Activities) are not displayed.  This is EAUI.

To see them you need to switch to rectangular display - right click on the element and select "Use Rectangular Notation".

HTH,
Paolo

Great, thanks, the constraints are now showing but I don't understand why they want to force me to use rectangular notation, odd. Guess I'll have to use the note constraints instead since the rectangular notation is really odd and it's not possible to activate it for actions.

Paolo answered that too: EAUI = Enterprise Architect Unique Interface.
No, you can't have it!
