Title: UML State Diagram bugs
Post by: chesir on December 15, 2011, 09:58:34 PM
I am using the UML State Diagram template/tool/whatever, and I notice the following bugs:

1) When listing the actions that occur upon either entry or exit or specific condition ("Internal Transition" in Visio-speak), I list the actions in a specific order. Nevertheless, Visio will on its own change the order randomly every time I make a modification elsewhere in the diagram.
2) For actions that take place upon either entry or exit of a state, there are "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons I can click on to change the order (even though Visio may randomly change the order later). Yet, when I specifiy "Internal Transitions" (iow, specific conditions) there are no such "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons I can click on to change the order of the conditions. Worse still, as I specify my list of conditions (an action list is associated with each condition, or "Internal Transition"), Visio randomly chooses an order in which the conditions are listed.

HELP!
