Title: Reuse problems in activity diagrams
Post by: Volkan on June 14, 2019, 11:40:28 am

When I draw an activity diagram, I reused two existing actions by a drag-and-drop. But the control flow between the two actions is copied, too. I do not want to reuse the control flow. But when I deleted the control flow, the original flow was also deleted. Is there a way to figure this out? Thank you very much!

You can't and shouldn't reuse actions. An action exists only in the scope of it's activity and is not supposed to be re-used.
The flows from and to actions are properties of these actions.

You can duplicate actions if you want by copy / Ctrl-Shift-V
