Fragment export in XMI

[difson]

      
Hello, I am a developer using Business Architect 6.7.
I have a problem and I need your help.
in fact, I drew my sequence diagram with the fragments (loop and alt) that contain some messages. When I export into XMI 2.1 (UML 2.0),
I can not know in which the fragment is my message. I'd like to know from XMI file if the message 1 and message 2 are in the loop fragment for example.

I would like to know if it is a problem of version of AE, or XMI, or UML or something else. thank you

Unfortunately it looks like you're right. There seems to be no way to extract from XMI 2.1 which message is contained in which fragment, except by evaluating geometry attributes within the diagram section.

Of course this information should be contained in the model, and not only saved with a diagram. I would report this to Sparx as a bug.

There a more things like this in EA's XMI 2.1 export, e.g. which states are contained in which region of a state machine. I've reported this a long time ago, and nothing has happened so far.

is what the problem is not solved in the next version of AE (>6.5) or in version 7.5 of EA? I do not have that version, that is why I ask.

I checked with version 7.1, it's still the same. We havn't yet upgraded to 7.5 and my private trial version has expired, so I don't know. I only know that 7.5 has brought no improvements as to the handling of concurrent state regions.
