Title: sd frame
Post by: PeterM on July 13, 2009, 10:12:17 pm

In my UML & Patterns book by Larsman he states that any sequence diagram can be surrounded with an sd frame (p 236). I cannot achieve this no matter what I do. Help has nothing on sd Frame.

In looking at frament (which is what the sd Frame looks like) in the help , there is an entry (Search on Frament) then select Behavioural Diagram Elements (Rank 19 in my search). I can see what I would like to achieve. One has "sd Communication Diagram Elements" and "sd Timing Diagram", among others. How can one add this to my sequence diagrams that are referenced in another. (The ref fragment works well) I need to create a sd frame.

I can see that it is possible, but can't see how to achieve it.  :'(

drag your diagram onto another diagram

Geert is correct. This action displays a prompt asking you to select either a diagram frame, a diagram reference or a hyperlink. Select the diagram frame option, and Enterprise Architect displays the diagram within a frame having the title sd <diagram name>.

As long as its not another sequence diagram it works fine. I used a class diagram (actually I only tried sequence then class) .
Thanks very much. Problem solved.  :D
