Title: Undesirable deletion of objects in a sequence d.
Post by: ocroquette on May 10, 2007, 07:19:03 am

Hi

In an interaction diagram, I have objects 1 & 2.
Object 1 creates object 2 ("new"), and then sends a message to it.

If I just do that, EA will then automatically add a deletion of the object 2 right after.

Why is that? I want the object 2 to continue living, even after the end of the sequence!

Is it a bug?

Unset the option "Tools > Options > Diagram > Sequence > Garbage Collect"

It makes sense, thanks a lot!

Bottom-line: you have to set the option THEN create your diagram. Already existing diagrams are not impacted by the option.

Actually, it is sufficient to close the diagram and open it again after having changed the setting.
