Turning off numbering on sequence diagrams in desktop modeling tools

Question & Answer


Question

In version 7 of Rational Software Delivery Platform desktop modeling tools such as Rational Software Architect (RSA) is there a way to turn off the numbering in sequence diagrams?

  3. In the list, scroll down to Modeling and expand it
  4. Expand Diagrams
  5. Click on Sequence and Communication Diagrams
  6. Clear the option for Show message numbering in Sequence Diagrams
