Activity Edge Connector

UML allows for activity edge connectors, to act as references between act as connection points between to actions in an activity diagram (instead of drawing a long line).

For example, see attached.

These symbols do not seem to be present in v14. Which leads me to wonder what version of UML is supported.

Can anyone help me out?

The UML 2.5 specification is fully supported in VP.

It’s not an issue of missing functionality, but merely a difference in notation. You’ll read as much in the specification itself: the ActivityEdge connector is notational. It does not affect the model itself, but is merely a different way of drawing it. Also noteworthy is that its use is discouraged.

So another question is how useful such a connector would be on a nearly infinite modeling canvas?

However… This feature is supported in Visual Paradigm. Simply right click on an ActivityEdge and use the “Split Connector” option. After that all that’s left to do is insert the right labels.
