You need to make a separate complete sequence diagram for the interaction use, then drag it onto the OTHER sequence diagrams that use it. The interaction use is self-contained so don't write it as a part of a larger interaction diagram and expect to use that snippet in another diagram. I think you would need to use an interaction use = a combined fragment of REF type. If I understand what you want to do I think it's possible but you have to follow UML. I haven't done interaction diagrams for several months so working from memory. If it makes a difference, I am using Enterprise Architect v and have a Corporate Edition license. I may be using sequence diagrams incorrectly if what I am trying to do is just plain wrong for UML please let me know. This allowed me to easily navigate to the other diagram but I cannot connect a message to it. I also tried dragging the other diagram onto the calling diagram. the problem I hit is that there doesn't seem to be any way to associate the Diagram Gate with the Operation I want to call in the other sequence diagram (or asociate the other diagram to the Diagram Gate)ĭoes anyone know a way to reference another sequence diagram from a sequence diagram AND define which Operation is being called? when calling another sequence diagram I add a Diagram Gate and connect a Message to it to represent one application calling a function of another I use a Message (connecting Life Lines) and select the target application's Operation - that I defined earlier the applications have Operations defined that represent functions that can be called my Life Lines are Classes that represent applications I have tried to use the Diagram Gate but I hit a problem: I have a couple sequence diagrams and I'd like to call the sequence depicted in one of the diagrams from another diagram. I'm hoping someone can assist this time around.


This is a rehash of a question I asked some time ago.
