Multi-object?

Hi, how can I add multi-object property to a "Lifeline" in the communication diagram. I saw I can do it in a sequence diagram but I need it in communication diagrams too.

Thanks for you attention and you hard work.

RE: Multi-object?

Hi,

unfortunately, this property is missing in the communication diagram. I will add it in the version 5.

The implementation of fifth major version should be finished this year. I want to release this new version on January 9th, 2012.

Limited Element Options

I feel that either I or the software is currently missing something. The elements available don't lend themselves to a typical communication diagram. Primarily, there is no element for objects (unless you make your own from a Rectangle) and the message tool doesn't allow for sequenced messages.

RE: Limited Element Options

Element for object can be added using Lifeline tool. Then the lifelines/objects can be connected with messages. Sequence messages can be added using context bar (Add Sequence Expression / Add Reverse Sequence Expression) or using Properties dialog (Context menu/Properties) on Message tab.
