Title: Reverse engineering code to get sequence diagrams
Post by: dwschulze on March 01, 2005, 11:54:23 am

I want to have EA generate sequence diagrams based on my code.

I imported my source code directory structure into a new package under the Interactions package (which created several more packages - one for each source directory).  When I looked at the diagram it was a class diagram, however, not a sequence diagram.

2 questions:

How do I get sequence diagrams from imported code?

Why did EA put a class diagram into the Interactions package?  Can I just move the created objects into the appropriate view for class diagrams?

Thanks.

EA can't reverse engineer sequence diagrams from code.  There are multiple threads on the forum about this.

EA put class diagrams in the Interactions package because there is nothing special to EA about any of the packages and you asked it to create class diagrams there.  (Because that's what the reverse engineering does.)

Yes, you can just move them.
