ObjectFlow from/to DecisionNode?

[AlexG]

Hi all!

Why doesn't EA allow to model a object flow from or to a decision node? In the UML Superstructure the DecisionNode has the following constraint:
12.3.22:
"The edges coming into and out of a decision node must be either all object flows or all control flows."

This implies, that it is allowed to model a object flow from or to a decision node...
Or did I miss anything?

Cheers,
Alex

Under what conditions doe EA not let you connect an object flow to a decision node?

Aaargh! Just been simulposted by the person sat next to me!

It does.  At least, it does on my PC. I've searched everywhere to find an option that will stop it working on my machine with no luck. So, questions...

1. What version of EA are you using?
2. Is the diagram an Activity diagram?
3. What element is at the other end of the object flow?

Hi all!

Since my upgrade from version 470 to 472 it works
On build 470 I get an error, when I try to connect an ActivityParameter with an DecisionNode via an ObjectFlow.

"The requested connection is UML compliant"

Thanks anyway - at least for the hint to the bugfix

I'm currently writing my diploma thesis and got different theoretical questions - relation of graphical notation with the UML metamodel - is this the right place to ask such questions or do I have to find another forum?

King regards,

Alex

P.S.: Is it planned to support an experimental xmi export, which is compliant to the uml2 metamodel?
