Dank Geert:-), it indeed seems impossible to connect an operation to the actor. It is a shame, as the diagram is finally ready, I don't feel like do it all over again. Thanks for the effort! Next time I will do it the right way...

qwerty, please explain? why only where it point to? The diagram I created explains all messages going from and to various systems and from and to various external partners. Is that not allowed (or not as meant) in the sequence diagram?

Thank you Geert,

Although your explanation 'works', I still haven't the result I try to reach:

I created the sequencediagram by inserting lifelines. Those lifelines were connected via the advanced menu-option "instance classifier" to actors (internal systems and external relations) that were defined in a Use Case Diagram.

So as I already connect my lifelines to the actors as defined in the Use Case diagram, it seems impossible to connect the same lifeline to the class.

Is that correct?

General Board / Not able to select a message in the sequence diagram

« on: June 13, 2016, 10:45:52 pm »

I am setting up a sequencediagram, and want to be able to select a message via the dropdownlist "message" in the "messageproperties-popup".

Pressing this dropdownlist, no messages appear. I am able to insert free text (so I can insert the messagename), but I want to be able to select (so, I need to define the messages).

in a helpfile I found the following concerning this:
If the Message flow is towards a Class element (dropped in from a Class diagram) or a Lifeline element having a classifier, and the destination Class has defined operations, you can click on the drop-down arrow and select an appropriate operation name; the Message then reflects the destination Class operations.

Tried to do this, however simply don't know what to do? Who can help me? (can't be that hard, but truly tried for some time now.....:-)
