I've played around with messages in the sequence diagram, and i find it puzzling.
If a have two classes that are related (for example a business layer class that uses the data access layer class to save some data)
ClassDAL
-------
-------
Save()
Read()
ClassBLL
------
-DAL:ClassDAL
------
Save_DAL()
In the sequence diagram, when i create both of them to represent the sequence, the message i choose then BLL calls DAL, should be the ones from DAL (since i am "calling them"), and not the ones from BLL
This is how it works right now:
|ClassBLL| |ClassDAL|
| |
| Save_DAL() |
|||--------------------->|||
| |
x x
This is how (as far as i know) should be:
|ClassBLL| |ClassDAL|
| |
| Save() |
|||--------------------->|||
| |
x x
A workaround is this (with current implementation):
How do I draw a "Destroy message" where an arrow from 1 lifeline leads to an 'X' in another lifeline?
(e.g. http://www.umlgraph.org/doc/uml-182.html)
I've tried using:
i) The "Destroy Action", but that only lets me place a 'X' without the arrow
ii) The "Call Action", where I changed Properties -> Message -> Type to "Destroy", but it still looks like a normal call. Also, SIM won't let me attach that arrow to the 'X'.
First of all, thank you for this software, i am using it for my thesis and i am seriously enjoying it! You are nothing short of a genious here.
I've couldn't find a way to pull actions from the classes's medthods i am using. That means that if the action (method) ever changes, i have to manually go and changeit in every other model i used it.
I'm working on a newest translation for Version 5.06(chinese simplified).
Is there any tool to help translate?
(already work for this for a couple of days,it's seems that all Strings in the resx file,but many repeated words,so just done 2/3 for keep the translation be consistent)
If have such tool,could email me(cnlcz20@gmail.com)
--------------
by the way ,those translations(zh-cn&zh-TW)too old and many things are lost(it's based on a very old version,I guess)
I am considering using this tool in the Systems Analysis and Design course I teach. You seem to have the diagramming mechanisms nailed down quite nicely for our purposes. However, I don't see how this tool ensures consistency among diagrams. E.g., I create an actor in a use case diagram; now I build a sequence diagram and want to use the actor already defined in use case - it looks like I have to create another actor.

RE: diagram linking
This seems to be a problem. I'll check it out and I'll fix it in the next release.
Other types of elements can be shared among diagrams - switch project tree to 'All Entities' view and drag the desired element from list of entities to diagram.
How can I remove a ref frame(interaction use) which is attached to a timeline. If I delete this ref frame will the timeline be removed too.
You should think, Ok I can use a workaround by drawing a new timeline but the activation bar is in this case not linked anymore to the new timeline-> you have to redraw everything(timline, call actions,...)
