Creating a Multiple Transition

Go Up to Activity Diagram Procedures

You can add a multiple transition to a state element.

To create a multiple transition (a fork or a join):

1. Identify the states involved. If necessary, place all of the states on the diagram first and arrange as desired.
2. On the Tool Palette diagram, choose the fork or the join button.
3. Place either a horizontal or a vertical fork or join on the diagram.
4. Resize as needed.
5. On the Tool Palette diagram, choose the transition button.
6. Draw links from the source state(s) to the fork/join node and from the fork/join node to the target state(s).
