Creating an activity diagram

1. Click in the quick access buttons.
   • The creation window appears: click "Architecture", and then "UML".
   • The UML model creation wizard starts.
2. Select "Activity diagram".
3. Specify the UML model into which the diagram is to be inserted.

3. Specify:
   • the type of the emission.
   • the name of the emission. This name is displayed in the UML editor.
4. Validate the description of the "Send signal" element.

Creating an "Accept event" element
