Moving interaction fragments

In sequence diagrams, you can move the position and change the order of an interaction fragment, which includes combined fragments and interaction occurrences.

To move an interaction fragment:
  1. Open a sequence diagram that contains at least one interaction fragment.
  2. In the interaction frame, click an interaction fragment.
  3. Complete one of the following steps:
    • To move an interaction fragment, drag it up or down without crossing any messages and other interaction fragments. The interaction fragment appears in the new location and all messages and interaction fragments move in the same direction.
    • To reorder an interaction fragment, drag it across any messages and other interaction fragments to position it in the new location. All interaction fragments reorder in the interaction frame.
    Note: The top bounds of the interaction fragment determine the reordering position.
