Connect arrows from conditional block to action block of another condition

Hello,

in activity diagrams, is it possible to connect arrows from conditional blocks to action blocks that belong to other conditional blocks? For example 

I'd like to connect the "yes" arrow to the SLEEP block above, avoiding to create another identical one.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi A.,

  • Could you send us your source code?
    or a minimal not working example...

Hello,

apologize for that, i copied an image in the initial message but just checked it was not inserted.

Below a simple code for the case i mean :

start
if (condition 1) then (yes)
   :ACTION A;
   kill
 else (no)
 if (condition 2) then (yes)
    :ACTION A;
    kill

I'd like to know if there is a way to connect the "yes" arrow from "condition 2" block to the "ACTION A" block of "condition 1". This is in order to avoid to repeat 2 times in the diagram the action block "ACTION A".

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hello A.,

Here is an attempt:

start
if (condition 1) then (yes)
  label d
  label d
  label l
  :ACTION A;
  kill
else (no)
  if (condition 2) then (yes)
    label d
    goto l
  endif
endif

But the last kill does not work...

Here is another proposal...

start
if (condition 1) then (yes)
  label d
  label d
  label l
  :ACTION A;
  kill
else (no)
  if (condition 2) then (yes)
    label d
    goto l
  else
  -[#transparent]->
  endif
endif

Enjoy,
Regards,
Th.
