Hi there,
can someone please tell me how to create an activity within an activity. I
like to break down a huge activity into several smaller ones consisting of
several actions each. According to the UML this is possible, but somehow I
am not able to find such a function in UML2Tools.
Thank you very much.
Cheers,
Torsten

I'm not sure UML2 Tools expose it, but it seems what you want is a
CallBehaviorAction (activities are behaviors).

Hi Torsten,
I suggest to use StructuredActivityNode as a container for other Activities.
Best wishes,
Tanya.

Hi Tanya,
thanks for your reply. I've tried the structured activity, though it
doesn't seem to be exactly what I'm looking for or I am not using it
correctly.
I have a huge activity diagram with lots of actions, but I am able to
group these actions to according activities. For example I have the
activity "clean house" which I can describe by the activities 'vacuum
clean', 'wash dishes' and 'wash clothes'. Of course, these activities
consist of several actions.
I think the ideal solution would be, if I was able to arrange the three
forementioned activities in the activity 'clean house' and if you would
like to get further information on either of the activities 'vacuum clean'
etc., I can click the activity 'vaccum clean' and a new activity diagram
opens containing the activity and its actions. Basically the activities
in 'clean house' are links to other activity diagrams. Is this (or
something familiar) possible?
Cheers,
Torsten

Hi,
We are as well facing the same issue, what we are looking for is, when we
draw an Actity diagram we need an Activity when double clicked on it
should open a new Activity Diagram window. Its basically a Subflow or
Drill-down.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Dhananjay
