Changing state to composite/submachine/orthogonal state

You can change your current State to a simple State, composite State, orthogonal State, and submachine State.

To change a State to a composite State

• Drag a vertex on a simple State symbol. A region is created and the simple State is converted to a composite State. 

To change a State to a orthogonal State

• Add two regions to the State. Read more about creating regions.
  

To change a State to a submachine State

1. On the diagram, right-click the State, then on the shortcut menu, click Submachine. 
2. In the dialog, click to select a submachine that you wish to apply on the State or click the Create  button, to create the submachine.

To change a State to a submachine State, the State must contain no regions.
