Displaying inner elements
To display inner elements
When creating a new State Machine diagram, right-click a State in the Containment tree, point to Create Diagram, and then click State Machine Diagram.
Inner elements are displayed on the State Machine diagram pane automatically upon creating the first diagram under the State element.
- When modifying a preexisting State Machine diagram, select a diagram pane or the State shape and perform one of the following steps:
- From the shortcut menu, click Display > Display Inner Elements.
- On the diagram toolbar, click
and select Display Inner Elements.
Working with behaviors
You can select Entry, Do Activity, Exit, deferrable triggers, and internal transitions directly in the compartment of the state shape. Thus, you can:
- Draw dependencies among particular behaviors on a state shape.
- Move behaviors from one state shape to another.
- Convert the selected behavior to another.
To convert a behavior to another behavior
- On a state shape, select a behavior.
- From the behavior's shortcut menu, select Refactor > Convert To > <behavior>
