InitialPseudostate¶

Creating an InitialPseudostate¶

InitialPseudostate can be created by the following procedure:

Select [InitialPseudostate] in the Tool Bar and click on the diagram.

Note

A state cannot have multiple InitialPseudostates.

State¶

Creating a State¶

State can be created by the following procedure: To insert a line break in the name, click either SHIFT + ENTER, ALT + ENTER, or CTRL + ENTER.

Double-click on the Activity diagram.

Select [State] in the Tool Bar and click on the diagram.

Inserting the State in the Transition¶

The newly created State can be inserted in the Transition.

The procedure below describes how to insert a new State in the Transition created between two States.

Select [State] in the Tool Bar.

Mouse over the Transition and click on the highlighted Transition.

The connection status between the Transition and new State changes depending on the clicking position in the Transition.

Clicking on the start side of the Transition reconnects the start side of the Transition to the newly inserted State.

In addition, a new Transition is created with the inserted State as its end side.

The guideline is that the start side of the existing Transition is highlighted in a round shape as shown in the figure below.

Clicking on the end side of the Transition reconnects the end side of the Transition to the newly inserted State.

In addition, a new Transition is created with the inserted State as its start side.

The guideline is that the end side of the existing Transition is highlighted in a round shape as shown in the figure below.
