Hi

I'm creating a number of scenarios for a use case through sequence diagrams (main path, alternatives...)
It would save me a lot of time if I could duplicate sequence diagrams but this is not well handled in EA.
I tested a copy/paste of a package that contained my SD + instances but messages were lost in the copy.

Obviously copy everything from the seq diagram and paste into a new diagram doesn't work

Is there a way round?

Yes,

Copy/Paste the whole diagram in the project browser.
Try out the different options as there are some differences between them (deep/shallow/smart).
Also make sure you are on the latest version. There have been some improvements lately.

Right click on the diagram in the project explorer > Copy Diagram, followed by a Paste Diagram indeed sorted the issue.

thanks Geert

Hello,
copy and past the diagram works fine but it duplicates all instances in the project browser and this is messy.
Is there a way to copy the diagram without duplicating the instances?

That's exactly what 'shallow' way does. Though please mind that the connectors depend on this too, so if you will re-arrange connectors on the new diagram, they will become broken on the original. Which is why it's usually recommended to do the Deep/Smart copying.
