Auto-Numbering of Scenarios

The Scenario Auto-Numbering view mode in the Sequence Diagram Graphic Editor causes Sequence Diagram scenarios (partition lines) to be sequentially numbered according to the format defined by the three Sequence Diagram Graphic Editor preferences:

The numbering is visible for those Sequence Diagram scenarios (partition lines) that have partition line text associated with them. When the scenario ordering is changed, the numbering is automatically refreshed. The mode is enabled and disabled by the Sequence Diagram Graphic Editor preference “Show Scenario Numbering.” Changing the numbering method defined by the specified preferences does not cause automatic numbering refresh. To forced a refresh operation, toggle the preference Show Scenario Numbering.

The scenario numbering does not affect the uniqueness of scenario names (required for sequence diagram animation).
