Delete a message

To delete a message call from the diagram, Trace Modeler must be in diagram edit mode.

With the mouse

  1. Select the message to be deleted
  2. Open the message context menu
  3. Select the 'Delete' menu item

With the keyboard

  1. Select the message to be deleted
  2. Press the DEL key

or

  1. Select the message to be deleted
  2. Open the message context menu
  3. Select the 'Delete' menu item

Caution!

When you delete a message call, all elements nested below it in the control flow will also be deleted!

For example, before the message 'deleteMe' is deleted :

UML sequence diagram before the message is deleted

The resulting diagram after that message is deleted :

UML sequence diagram after the message is deleted

If the result isn't what you had in mind, you can always undo the deletion.

Note that inlining a call will delete the call but have no effect on the rest of the diagram.
