I want to achieve something like this in Enterprise Architect's Communication Diagrams:

   start()    ----------------    1. create()   ------------
------------> | RGController | ---------------> | U : User |
              ----------------                  ------------

But I am facing 2 problems:

a) it seems I have to always make a connection between 2 objects (I can't have the start() message just come out of nowhere, like I'd want).

b) I can't control the numbering as I'd want. Is there any way I could just set the numbering by myself?
