Sequence-Collaboration converter
« on: June 16, 2005, 08:08:01 pm »
Initial informal impressions.

Looks like this will save hours and hours of work.

1) It should be possible to select part of a diagram and run the converter on that protion.

2) It should have an option to convert classifiers to instances and v.v.  

3) "Found" and "Lost" messages dont seem to work properly. (Haven't had a good look though"

4) Classes in seq diags end up as lifelines in communications diagrams.  Design or blunder?

5) Message sequencing and grouping (using numbered messages in seq diagrams) is lost on conversion to communications diagram.  >:(

6) Why is the addin located on the element context menu?  Does not seem to make sense as we are talking about the diagram.  Unless 1) is a future directions.

7) (Possibly) It should be possible to direct the output to a new/existing package and optionally create new elements/link to existing.

More after the weegend....
