Re: [bpmn2-modeler-dev] Call Activities
OK, let me know how it works out. FYI, any changes you make to the imported process from the popup dialog (using the Edit button on the Called Activity combo box) won't be reflected in the external process until you close and reopen that process' editor. Resource modifications still aren't communicated yet between the editors, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=383849 for details.


Awesome. Thanks Bob. I'm gonna give that a try tonight. Regards.

Hi Dewald,

To reference a process in another resource you first need to import that resource. In the Diagram Definitions tab, select the Imports list and [+]. In the Import dialog, select the "BPMN 2.0 Diagram" radio button for "Import Type" and point to the process you want to import. The process then shows up in the Called Activity combo box. You can use the "Show Diagram" context button on the Call Activity to open an editor on the referenced process.

Hi,

OK so I played around with Call Activities last night. I noticed that when I declare a Call Activity, the editor by default wants to create the referenced process as a nested process. i.e. the editor opens a sub-tab and creates a new entry for 'process' in the xml. 

Also the way it currently works doesn't seem to make sense to the top most diagram. How would I reference that process from another process hosted in another file?

So I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way for the modeler to be made aware of other diagrams in the same directory (I keep all my diagrams together in one folder), as opposed to creating more than one process in the same file?

Regards,
Dewald
