Generate Scenario From Activity Diagram
You can generate a range of diagrams from a scenario in an element. Conversely, you can also generate a structured scenario within an element from an Activity diagram, reverse engineering the steps from the diagram elements (effectively either regenerating the scenario within the Use Case, or transferring a scenario into another Use Case).
Access
On a diagram or in the Browser window, select an element and use one of these access paths to display the Scenarios window, then right-click on a space and select the 'Create Structure From Generated Activity Diagram' option.

- This facility does not operate on the enhanced Activity diagrams generated from a Use Case - those generated with ActivityParameters, Actions and Action Pins
