Global Compound Flow Lines through Routers

Global compound A-flow lines, which pass through routers, are created only when the router is resolved (i.e., all external occurrences of the router resolve to an existing internal router).

For each element flowing to/from an external router, the tool identifies its real source/target by climbing the hierarchy up to the internal router. On that level, according to the router usage rules, the source/target must be identified. If the identified source/target is an off-page instance box, the tool dives into it to find the actual source/target of the flowing element.

Note: The tool does not create compound flow-lines through routers when both the source and the target of the compound flow-line is a data-store.

When the general preference “Allow Flow-line Loopbacks through Routers” is set to 'No', Statemate does not create compound flow-line through routers when both source and target of the compound flow-line is the same basic activity.
