The Name Symbol dialog used to name the action has a Referenced Element selection list used to specify the actual «activity» element to be invoked/called.

A Pin like symbol is attached to the Action. Activity) owned by a specific / target Block. Also, see the discussion on the that is used to insert an actual element into a Tag expression/value.Ī Call Operation Action can invoke/call an operation (i.e. See the Activity Parameter discussion on defining a Tag for a special stereotype frame. In order to specify a pre-condition or post-condition for the Action, use the special stereotype frames: LOCALPRECONDITION and LOCALPOSTCONDITION. When doing rapid prototyping you can specify a descriptive name and later reuse the Rename dialog to select an actual behaviour diagram. The Name Symbol dialog used to name the Call Behaviour Action has a Referenced Diagram selection list that is used to specify the desired behaviour diagram to be invoked. Also, see the discussion on the that is used to insert an actual element into a Tag expression/value.Ī Call Behaviour Action can invoke / call another behaviour diagram (act, stm, sd) for execution and then return control to the current Activity Diagram. In order to specify any pre-condition or post-condition for the Action, use the special stereotype frames: LOCALPRECONDITION and LOCALPOSTCONDITION. The action's I/O items are the following symbols: Pin, Object Node and Activity Parameter. If you want the current Action to execute a separate behaviour use the «callBehaviourAction».

Actions are at the atomic level so they do not get decomposed. It can show frames, categories, tags, related items, or simply a piece of standalone text.Ī Tag is used to display a tag value contained in a symbol’s stereotype frames, or cross reference link attribute, anchored to the selected symbol.Īctions execute and transform their inputs and outputs (I/Os). Multi-purpose symbol which attaches to other symbols in order to show certain attributes of the model element. An image can also be embedded in the other diagram symbols. Note: If you do not want Cradle to automatically add an * go to the Graphics Settings section of Project Setup and turn off the Automatically add asterisks to diagram's comment symbols option.Īllows you to choose the location of a GIF or JPEG image to be displayed as a diagram symbol.
