Ending of swimlanes

[Analyst@localhost Dominika-Junior Analyst]

Hello,

My question is: how to make the end of swimlane? After finishing making a partition, at the end of it there is no ending line - how to make it?

Best regards

You can't. Instead of swimlanes you should use pools/lanes which allow to create a whole bounding box (and thus an end). This is recommended anyway as swimlanes are a mere line with no further semantic while pools/lanes are real UML elements.

So I have another naive question: where do I find these pools and lanes? I use Enterpise Architect 9.3

Ok... but activity partitions don't have ends too. I would like to be able to create a partition which is a bouding box.

Pools and Lanes are BPMN objects. In UML the equivalent is called ActivityPartition.

You could use a simple Boundary.

Maybe you explain WHY you need that.

I'm afraid Activity Partitions are always open ended as specified in the  UML specs.
Closed ActivityPartitions don't exist in UML.

Thank you guys a lot for help.
I've begun my journey with UML not a long time ago, so in my understaning of subject, the activitypartition should be close - now I know that they shouldn't :D

Probably I was mistaken by the fact that when I made an activity diagram with partition matrix - partitions were by a mirace close ;)
