Suggestions and Requests / Sequence Diagram Suggestions
« on: August 06, 2003, 02:50:55 am »
I've just bought EA and I'm starting to use it for real. Overall, it's seems like it's a great tool.
A few annoyances related to sequence diagrams are:
1. You can't resize the object icon vertically. You can make it wider but not deeper. Given how valuable horizontal space is on a sequence diagram, I often want to make object boxes deeper to get the names into the box.
2. It's quite common to want to attach a note to part of a sequence diagram. The snag with EA's note links is that they seem to only anchor to the edge of classes and objects. For an object on a sequence diagram object this means that the link ends hanging in space as the edge of the object is invisible below the object box. I'd like to be able to attach a note to a message or a lifeline (in fact anything really) rather than just the objects.
Cheers,
Eoin.
