I'll show you how to create the CML
activity diagram using asta first click
on activity diagram on the Start screen
drawing step is very simple choose the
model you want from the toolbar and
click on the diagram and enter the
now an initial load as a starting point
for executing this activity that's that
an action which represents a single step
with an activity 231 just double-click
on the ground next is control flow which
indicates which action it goes to next
after the previous one is complete to
create one you see this many area here
just attached to the next section if you
want actions to have your tree view open
the system properties from to menu and
check this option in the project view
the fork note which is used to split
incoming flow into multiple concurrent
flows you can choose what you want
horizontal or vertical let's add the
rest of actions in different way this
time if you already have a list of
actions in the spreadsheet or text
editor you can just copy them and paste
on the diagram these reactions the
little too wide so let's make them into
the same size as this action select them
all and choose a just sighs at least
opens choose the one in the size you
want the others to be add a stereotype
to the section it help control and s4
out command and ask if you're on Mac
that's for example e-center these
actions
now let's add an object node which can
represent such data or object to be
passed along with the flow join node is
used to synchronize multiple incoming
flows and makes a single outgoing flow
just like fork node choose which way you
like and click on a bedroom
this is a marg node which brings
together multiple alternate floats this
is not used for synchronizing current
flows but to accept one among several
alternate flows
now we need a decision noting here which
is a branch horndog single becoming flow
to traverse depending on the conditions
so we want to make a space here choose
the gap expanding here and just dropped
to the right there and a decision now
you can just move this error . to let
that to this note and you can enter the
guard which is the condition of this
outgoing fall directly at last the
activity final load which indicates the
end of this activity and it's complete
