Error description
Using Rhapsody in C 8.1.4 It is observed that when populating a Flowchart for an operation, the generated diagram looks like a flow chart but has in fact state chart elements. Instead of control flows, transitions are generated. Instead of merge nodes, connectors are generated. Instead of decision nodes, conditions are generated. Therefore in some cases the diagram can not be modified. Specifically the "Populate flowchart" feature is not adding the correctly stereotyped elements to the flowchart it is creating. Steps to reproduce: In the attached model, there is a class with 2 operations; one called CanBeChanged() and one called CanNotBeChanged(). In the flowchart of CanNotBeChanged(), added a comment showing what I would like to change. I can not connect the action with the connector, Rhapsody says that this is no legal. In the CanBechanged i marked in green the new elements i added and a red line marks the original activity flow. Both diagrams where generated from the code in the implementation of the operations. In the flow chart of CanBeChanged, when selecting Activity Flow, what is actually drawn is a Transition (from state chart) but in the flow chart of CanNotBeChanged Activity flows are drawn.
