General Board / Re: Connectors on flowchart diagram

Thanks, I see

So I was using activities like a flowchart, saying that activities followed sequentially in time.

UML then does not care about the [sequential] order in time?

Flows between processes are information flows ...?

I thought a rough analysis might identify the processes and their sequence without necessarily knowing the information flow. You might say, these are the processes and then in a second pass identify the detail.

Also I found, yes that once you turn the strictness of as above, you can do full 'connector' arrows, perfect.

In response to other comments above, yes I find EA very helpful from the model point of view, as a repository to reuse and avoid repetition of objects.

But I'm not [yet] a purist, I like to mindmap solutions and, no longer in engineering do not need strict technical models. Fascinated however about getting into it further ...

My point is that something seems to have changed.
You could previously use a control flow between 2 activities, this does not seem possible now.

General Board / Connectors on flowchart diagram

Hello.
I'm trying to create a flowchart diagram.
I add 2 processes to my diagram, but there doesn't seem to be a 'flow' relationship possible.
Trying to add a connector it says a connector is not UML compliant.
Other relationships possible are all dotted lines and not the solid arrowed connector used in the user guide.
Any tips please?

Thanks, Mark
