Iconix: allow text link from u.cases to seq diag.
« on: April 30, 2004, 10:55:16 am »
Using Iconix process, right now you have to continually copy/paste use case text changes into the associated sequence diagram's left margin for matching them up - please create a use case linkable text object for this, so changes are cascaded into the sequence diagram.  Or maybe a text object that can be linked to both an individual use case and sequence diagram ?

Thanks

This isn't ideal, but you can accomplish it this way:
1 ) go to your Use Case diagram.
2 ) create a note
3 ) add a note link to your Use case scenario
4 ) copy to clipboard
5 ) go to your sequence diagram
6 ) paste the note as new (very important)
7 ) now when you update your use case the note will update. (note you need to close the diagram and reopen it to see the text update in the note)
8 ) go back to your use case diagram
9 ) delete the note from the diagram

Hope this helps
