Title: State machine diagram - select internal transition
Post by: AlecJames on March 06, 2014, 11:12:50 pm

I have a state on a state machine diagram with an internal transition.  In the help it says "To view or edit the properties of the internal Transition, double-click on the entry in the compartment within the State".

I find that there is a tiny hot spot that opens the internal transition properties, 99% of the time I get the owning state properties. Zooming in helps.  I find that if I single click on different parts of the internal transition until a white bar apears above it and then double click that point I get the most success.

Is there an alternative route to get to internal transition properties?
Thanks

It is just like selecting an operation/ attribute in class.

First select the state, then double-click on the internal transition's name to bring up its properties.

Maybe there is something wrong with my diagram.  I tired as described and as before I got the state properties 6 times, the seventh attempt gave me the internal transition properties.

I tried a class diagram, it is much easier.  When I select a class operation I get a white highlight the size of the operation text, the state internal transition selection is a very thin white line above the text.

Don't think I can embed an imge?? Try the link -
