Because it goes from right it crossess paths with another arrow and it would be much easier for me to just position it on the left side of the state.

State1 --> State 1   <---- i would like to move this arrow to the left side(by the default it goes out trough right side and by bending it goes back from the left and i would like it to go out trough left side), but when i try to to it like this:

State1 -left-> State2 OR State1 - right -> State1 the only way that changes is the arrow either appear from botom side of the state to upper side or from bottom to up.

If I understand it correctly, I have exactly this problem.  Multiple conditions that "loop back" into a single state in state diagram are somehow "nested", and I cannot find how to control their placement.  When nested, they are sometimes unreadable.  I also have found that using -left-> and -right-> does not actually place the transition on the left or the right of the state box, but just swaps the arrow from one end of the transition line to the other.  Does anyone know how to do this?  If I specify two conditions like

State1 --> State1 : time < Time Threshold
State1 --> State1 : msg count < threshold received

... what I would like is to be able to place one transition on the L and one on the R of the state box.

Thanks!

Mal.
