In sequence diagrams, you can create an interaction use
by specifying a new unspecified occurrence or by creating a new interaction.
Procedure
- In the Palette, click Interaction
Use.
- Click inside the interaction frame and, in the window that
opens, complete one of the following steps:
- To create an interaction use with an unspecified interaction
that you will create later, click Unspecified.
- To create an interaction use with a new interaction that you
want to create now, click Create New Interaction.
- To create an interaction use from an existing interaction,
click Create from Existing Interaction.
- In the Add Covered Lifelines window,
click the lifelines to cover and click OK.
- Type a name for the interaction use and press Enter.
Results
If you select
Create New Interaction,
a new interaction is created in the
Project Explorer view
and a new sequence diagram opens with the selected covered lifelines.
Note: You
can create a nested interaction use in a combined fragment or move
an interaction use from a combined fragment by clicking the interaction
use and dragging the combined fragment to the new location.
