UML Sequence Diagram. Design Elements
UML Sequence Diagram is a type of Interaction Diagrams that describes the interactions between objects and classes that are involved in the scenario and the sequence of messages exchanged between them.
UML Sequence Diagram represents the processes and objects that occur at the same time as lifelines (parallel vertical lines), and the messages exchanged between them as horizontal arrows.
Sequence Diagrams are very popular in dynamic modeling.
The Rapid UML Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM contains 13 vector stencils libraries with 393 interactive shapes that you can use to design your UML diagrams.
To design a Sequence Diagram use the UML Sequence Diagram library.
UML Sequence Diagram library contains 51 shapes:
- Lifeline (entity)
- Lifeline (control)
- Lifeline (boundary)
- Lifeline
- Return message
- Asynchronous message
- Synchronous message
- Execution occurrence
- Destroy message
- Create message
- Symbol { }
- Self message
- Symbol << >>
- Port
- State divider
- Stop symbol
- Found message
- State invariant/continuations
- Lost message
- Gate Sequence
- Note
- Message default
- Interaction use
- Combined fragment
- Lifeline (actor)
- Self message
- Initiator
- Message
- Unknown/unspecified participant
- Message
- Message synchronous
- Creation message
- Message inverse

ConceptDraw Rapid UML solution provides UML Sequence Diagram library of vector stencils for UML sequence diagram elements like lifelines and message arrows.
Use the UML Sequence Diagram library to draw your own UML sequence diagrams that show process interactions as messages exchange arranged in time sequences during runtime scenarios.


All libraries for creating UML diagrams are available inside the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Templates and samples are located in the Rapid UML section of ConceptDraw STORE.

Using diagrams, you can visualize the flow of the information or build a detailed data structure. There's no need to have a degree in software and database design with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM , because this software has all the tools needed in developing models and diagrams. Project planning, designing and prototyping was never so easy.
This UML diagrams can be used to visualize a model of the data base development process. A UML diagram shows a graphical view of a structure of software system: components and relationships.
Using Unified Modeling Language helps to depict logical and physical elements of a data base, visually represent requirements and sub-systems. UML diagrams allows developers to organize and predict critical issues, as well as collaborate data base information.

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM system design software is a product of CS Odessa that was developed especially for making it much simpler to create all the needed diagrams, charts, flowcharts, schemes and other drawings when there is such a need in it. Having the Specification and Description Language (SDL) solution installed from the ConceptDraw STORE application may be another bonus to any ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software’s user as it offers both stencil libraries with the design elements and the pre-made examples of the diagrams, such as the SDL ones.
