I can't figure out how to label a transition (arrow) in a UML Statechart. With most items, I just start typing, but with the transition it says:
Shape protection and/or layer properties prevent complete execution of this command.
I found Format -> Protection and unchecked the "Text" check box, and now I can start typing, but the text just goes away when I finish. What's up with that?
One thing that sort of works is a "Guard expression", but I don't think that's quite what I want. Unlike this MSDN example, it has awkward square brackets around it. Is there any way to get a normal-looking label for transitions?
To add onto this: when you add an event and click "New..." a
Signal Event
lets you type whatever you want for the label. Unlike the other events that require you to pick some operation – MattSayar – 2014-12-15T19:44:34.677Nice! Thanks for the help. Not the easiest way of doing things, but at least it's possible. – jtpereyda – 2011-07-13T19:38:11.603
