Title: Reordering messages in Sequence diagram

Hi

 

You can drag messages to re-order - however there are some tricks which you may find help.

 

If you use Focus of Control a lot - these have a direct effect on moving messages.  Nested messages move with the "owner" so you need to prise these apart. 

 

So - when moving a messge - you will see a shadow box - this box must move *outside* any focus of control boxes to disconnect the message.  Make sure you really grab the interaction arrow - not the text of the message.

 

I tend to mutliple-select messages *below* the ones I want to move - and move them well out of the way before trying to do any adjustments.

 

Hope that solves the problem

 

regards

 

anthony

All,
  I have drawn my sequence diagram with some 25 messages but only two objects. While "drawing" it, some errors slipped in, with respect to the "location/ordering" of a message being issued from the context of the former called method,  or outside of it.

My attempts to "move" the messages "out of the context of the method" were both frustrating and futile.
The two switches of "Hierarchical Numbering" and "Sequence Numbering" assist in showing the problem but not solving it.
Any trick?

Thanks,
