Creating interaction uses in sequence diagrams

In sequence diagrams, you can create an interaction use by specifying a new unspecified occurrence or by creating a new interaction.
To create an interaction use:
  1. In the Palette, click Interaction Use.
  2. Click inside the interaction frame and, in the window that opens, complete one of the following steps:
    • To create an interaction use with an unspecified interaction that you will create later, click Unspecified.
    • To create an interaction use with a new interaction that you want to create now, click Create New Interaction.
    • To create an interaction use from an existing interaction, click Create from Existing Interaction.
  3. In the Add Covered Lifelines window, click the lifelines to cover and click OK.
  4. Type a name for the interaction use and press Enter.
If you select Create New Interaction, a new interaction is created in the Project Explorer view and a new sequence diagram opens with the selected covered lifelines.
