Does Bizagi follow specific guidelines?

Hi,

i'm doing my thesis about BPMN Modeling tools and their characteristics. Working with Bizagi i saw we cannot insert more then one message flow from a sub-process to a external black box, why? Is it because of a specific guidelines? But i read the following sentence where someone said that "Bizagi Process Modeler does not validate the notation and the logic used in your diagram However we offer several types of support to help you through you process modeling and documentation" and i understand that Bizagi follows only BPMN OMG Specifications, isn't it?

Thanks

Dear Elisa,

Bizagi includes a button that validates the element's location. and connections. On the Home tab, in the Model group, click on Validate to start error checking.

Select the error description in the Diagram Validation add-on window in order to correct it.

Bizagi Modeler does not validate the notation and the logic used in your diagram. However we offer several types of support to help you through your process modeling and documentation. For more information please refer to Training and Support.

Regarding your question, you need to keep in mind these message flow connection rules:

How can I diagram the communication between processes?In BPMN the communication between Processes is defined as a sequence of activities that represents message exchange.

These messages flows are represented by a dotted arrow called Message flow connector. As the connections are made between pools, it is incorrect to connect a message flow to an activity within a process.

A Pool has many connection points, you can locate the points by dragging the start or end connection along the border. Whenever a connection is available it will highlight to a green point.
