Hi,
I don't know if its a limitation of UML 1.4, or ArgoUML, but in a sequence diagram, I want to show an object calling a method in its own class, ie calling a sub-procedure.
If I drag from the object to itself, nothing happens :-(
Thanks, Ant

I'm not familiar with ArgoUML. If you want to draw sequence diagram with sub-procedure, you may try Free UML Tool Red Koda Community.

Not sure why you have problems with that. If you point the message arrow to the object column itself it correctly draws a reflexive message.

I'm using ArgoUML 0.30.2... I have an object "/A:a", and it has the object column drawn below it. I click either new call action, or new send action, and then click on the object column, drag away, and then drag back. Nothing happens - the line disappears :-(

I´ve tried with the ¨Launch via web java start" version and indeed the line disappears. I was using an older version at home.

You need to drag away, click, drag down, click, drag back to the original lifeline (ie make a U shape instead of a V shape or single line). It seems like more work than should be necessary, but it does work.
This works in 0.30.2. Not sure if it used to work differently (as Jordi's comment implies).
