RE: [argouml-dev] Have more than one Statemachine on a diagram

Thanks you for your answers and feedback.

"reduce the size","simplify understanding"-> yes.
In fact, I have some transitions which aren't the mains cases (and not allow for all users).
And as there is many states, I would like to show only the "standard" transition in the first diagram.

I don't know if it's the good exemple :
	An Invoic become a "Duplicata" when it have been edited once time.
	For special case, we can have a transition for "Duplicata" -> "Invoic" 
	=> In order to reedit original.
	=> It could be usefull for a test/preprod server, but forbidden in production. 

An other use :
I want some text to explain the state.
I would like:
	A complete diagram
	A diagram without the comment

This second diagram can be used with a module, such as Argoprint, to produce a document.
In this document, after the diagram, all state are explained (with text) [It's what I hope, I will try later]. 
So in the document, without comment, the diagram will be easier to read.

Note : I used a "comment" and not "Documentation" in property panel, because it loose data when I select an other state.
I don't know how to use this panel, and if it's UML standard (Same for source, but not enabled).
Is it a Issue ?

Otherwise, I agree with the fact that there 1 Diagram/statemachine is enough.
And, for UML 2, it's seem the same with Activity (A diagram describe an activity).
It's why I prefer a Discussion instead of issue.
What is UML position ? If I find something, I will add URL.

An other solution for me:
Add stereotype (and tagvalue for text).
Have a module (Argoprint with features) where I can produce document with only some "stereotype" transition (or without only, or all). 


Best regards,
Laurent.
