Choosing method name in Sequence Diagram

General Questions/Discussions

Hi,
I am new to Visual Paradigm UML tool, and have a dumb question.
How to choose method name while drawing sequence diagram.
In Rational Rose draw message from one class to another, then right click on the message and choose name from available for that class.
Is there any way to do same thing in VPUML without typing a name?

Val.

Dear Val,

Here is an example for you:

  1. Suppose there are two Objects in the sequence diagram, O1 and O2.
  2. Right-click on O1 and select “Select Class…” from the popup menu to specify its classifier. Do the same for O2.
  3. Create a message from O1 to O2, right-click on the message and select “Select Operation…” from the popup menu.

Hope this can help.

Regards,

Antony.

This thread is relevant to me but I don’t see how step 3 below is correct. Am I missing something as “Select Operation…” is not in the popup menu on the message.

  1. Create a message from O1 to O2, right-click on the message and select “Select Operation…” from the popup menu.

Dear Paul,

I’m sorry that I’ve missed one important step. In order to specify operation for a message you need to right-click on it and select “Call” to make it a call message.

Antony.
