Hello. A few days ago I began to learn such program as StartUML(v.2.0). I have read Documentation, but it didn't help me. In what way can I convert a Sequence Diagram into a Communication Diagram?

Hi Shylkina,

Convert to Seq. to Comm Diagram is not supported in v2.0 because we decided the functionality is not necessary. As we know, the two are same interaction model but just different representations. Typically choose one representation style to describe a interaction model. Could you explain why the functionality is important for you? More specifically, why two different representations on a same interaction model are required?

Same feature request is in UserVoice:


Thanks

I'm writing methodical instructions for the students, who study systems modeling. One of the labs includes building of various kinds of diagrams and their comparison. To my knowledge, the function of diagram transforming from one type to another was provided in the previous versions of the program. I was trying to find this function to make easier for students the implementation of the lab work.

Sorry for the mistakes, if they were made. English is a foreign language to me.

Thank you very much for the prompt reply.

OK, we understood why you need it. So we're going to discuss internally whether implement it or not.

Thank you for answering.

Hi, again.

Explain, please, why do a problem during the creation of a Communication Diagram occur? 

I can't to connect two Lifelines.
I select a Connector, then click on the one Lifeline, without releasing the mouse button, draw a line to another Lifeline, but after releasing the button, I get an error message ("Connector cannot be placed here").
Is there an error in my sequence of actions?

the sequence diagram has a visual order that can be definitive, and collaborative visual diagram does not matter what order???
 Sorry for my English... I am Studying...
