Specifying partition types in activity diagrams

When you create a partition in an activity diagram, you can specify the type of element that the partition represents.

Before you begin

You must have a model that contains an activity and a partition.

Procedure

In the diagram editor, click a partition.
In the Properties view, click the General tab.
On the General page, click Set.
In the Select Element for Represents window, click the Browse tab and navigate to the element that the partition represents.
Click OK.

Results

The name of the partition is updated to include the name of the selected element that the partition represents. For example, if you created Partition1 and then selected Actor1 as the type, the updated name for the partition is Partition1: Actor1.
