Title: v16.1 - Where has this function gone: 'Collapse Embedded Element' ?
Post by: avi10000 on April 23, 2023, 07:33:47 am

HI all,
Using EA v16.1 - Where has this function gone:  'Collapse Embedded Element'   ?
In UML activity diagrams, I want to collapse the action pins to blobs, which are smaller.

I can't seem to see it.

Thanks
Avi

Hello Avi,

You can find the option in the Properties window (not dialog)  for a diagram (i.e. open the Properties window and click the background of the diagram)

HTH,

In activity diagrams:

I notice that enabling the 'collapse' function collapses also the activity parameters (as well as the action pins, which was my intention).

Actually, that could be quite useful, since you can't change an activity parameter's shape or even make it any larger or smaller.

(So you can add your own I/O action -- w/modified own shape -- next to the I/O parameter)
