Suggestions and Requests / Improve Sequence Diagram Message Label Layout

« on: January 31, 2010, 08:42:21 am »

Is there any way to make the message labels in sequence diagrams have a better default layout?

First, they seem to try to be aligned to the center of the message link rather than toward the sender.

Second, once the initial width is established, any edits to the message invariably causes the text to wrap.  I believe the diagrams are much more readable when the message label is in one line (unless, of course that extends beyond the bounds of the diagram).

General Board / Re: Version control

Martin,

You can add a set of nested packages to version control using the Package Control -> Add Branch to Version Control... menu option from the context menu on the desired top-level package.  This also creates a branch configuration file (xxx.EAB) that other users can use to check out the whole branch using the Package Control -> Import a Model Branch... option.

Best regards,
Jeff

Bugs and Issues / Move activation to a different lifeline?

« on: January 29, 2010, 08:32:50 am »

I have had several cases where I have a fairly complex sequence diagram and need to shift an entire activation (including its lower-level messages) to a different lifeline.
When I move the end of the initiating message, EA is splitting the activation and leaving the remainder of the lower-level messages on the original lifeline.  (I then need to move each event one at a time.)
Does anyone know of a way to shift the entire event sequence to a different lifeline?

Best regards,
Jeff
