Suggestions and Requests / Rotating Labels on Communication Diagrams

« on: October 25, 2006, 06:07:51 am »

Hi,
I notice that on sequence diagarams you can rotate the labels (Pretty pointless) using the "Label" context menu. However, on Communication Diagrams, you can't rotate the names of messages. Is there a way of doing this? It would be very useful.

Suggestions and Requests / <<decisionInput>>

« on: September 27, 2006, 06:46:32 am »

Does EA support <<decisionInput>> on decisions? I can't seem to find it, and am loathe to attempt to use "Notes" and bodge it.  I'd like to be able to link an existing action to a decision.

I can't work out how to create a "grouping" of input parameters on an activity in order to implement an "Or" relationship...

Uml Process / Structured Activity Nodes

« on: October 06, 2006, 07:47:43 am »

Would I be correcting in saying that the concept of "structured activity nodes" is unclear? It seems to me that the whole point is avoid the mess of spaghetti by allowing creation of a structured action where the implication is that there are activities and variables linked in a certain way (i.e. Loopnode)

The spec is very unclear on this.

Also in EA, how do you link parameters on the activity to the sub diagram?

Uml Process / Action - Constant Inputs

« on: October 05, 2006, 06:42:42 am »

Is it valid to show a "constant" input to an action (such WriteStructuralFeature) as a "ActionPin" with no arrow pointing it.

For example, I have an action that writes "0" to a structural feature as the result of a branch of a control flow. I am showing this as a WriteStructuralFeature action, with the input pin unconnected, but with "0" attached to it.
