Defining groups

5 Type a name and a code for the group.

6Click OK.

7Select a group particle tool in the palette (Sequence, Choice or All).

8Click the group symbol in the diagram.

The group particle symbol appears attached to the group symbol.

9Select the Element tool in the palette.

10Click the group particle symbol in the diagram for each child element you want to create.

The child element symbols appear attached to the group particle symbol.

11Double-click a child element symbol to display its property sheet.

12Type a name and a code for the child element.

13Repeat steps 11 and 12 for each child element.

14Click OK.
