WhiteStarUML技术咨询：如何从Frame向对象生命线添加Stimulus？含Move(d)场景

Hey there! Let's work through your WhiteStarUML questions step by step:

1. How to Add a Stimulus from Frame to an Object's Lifeline #

Here's the straightforward process to make this happen:

• First, make sure you're in Sequence Diagram editing mode—Stimulus is a core element of this diagram type, so you'll need to be in the right context.
• Locate the Stimulus tool in the left-side toolbar (it’s usually represented by an arrow icon labeled "Stimulus").
• Select the Stimulus tool, then click on the Frame’s boundary (or a blank area inside the Frame near your desired starting point). Drag your cursor to the target object’s lifeline and release the mouse—this will create the Stimulus connection.
• To edit the Stimulus details (like method name or parameters), simply double-click the arrow and update the text in the pop-up editor.

2. Adding a Stimulus from Outside the Frame (e.g., Move(d)) #

I get why this feels tricky—direct dragging from outside the Frame to a lifeline doesn’t work by default, but there’s a simple workaround:

• Start by selecting the Stimulus tool from the toolbar, just like before.
• Click on a blank area outside the Frame to set the Stimulus starting point, then drag your cursor to the target object’s lifeline and release. You’ll now have a Stimulus with its origin outside the Frame.
• To refine its appearance, select the Stimulus arrow and drag the starting point to align with the edge of the Frame—this makes it look like the action is originating from outside the diagram’s main boundary.
• Finally, double-click the Stimulus to rename it to Move(d) (or whatever label you need).

A quick troubleshooting tip: If you’re still having issues, check if your diagram elements are locked—right-click on the Frame or lifeline and look for an "Unlock" option if needed.
