RE: Frames in a state diagram

Software Ideas Modeler doesn't display frames around diagrams. I will add this option in one of next versions.

However, if you want to draw it now, you can do it this way:

1. Create Sequence diagram

2. Insert Frame

3. Double-click on frame (or right-click and choose Properties)

4. Open Frame tab

5. Rename type to State machine

6. Confirm dialog using OK button

7. Copy Frame (Ctrl+C) from sequence diagram

8. Paste Frame (Ctrl+V) into your state machine diagram

9. Now, you can delete the sequence diagram created in the first step

Evaluate

Hi,

The State ID does not refresh to 00 when a new state machine diagram created.

When transferred into documentation the State not properly listed according to the ascending order.

Simple but still great software.

Thank you.

State diagram - How to modify the transition lines

Hi Dusan,

I want to draw 1 state which has 2 transition lines returning to itself. Your software automatically draws the second transition line over the first one. Unfortunately, I can't separate the two state transition lines completely from one another, or modify the line form (for e.g. as a half-circle). Do you have a suggestion on the work around?

Thanks in advanced!

Angelina

RE: RE: RE: State diagram - How to modify the tran

In 4.102 I still have the same (or simular) problem.

It can be reproduced as follows:

Draw State A and State B.

Draw a transition from A to B

The draw a second transition from B to A.

The second transition is place at the same place as the first transition, so it looks line one line. I want two seperate lines.

Is this a bug or do I use the application wrong? (How so I get two seperate lines?)

Best regards,

Alex
