MagicDraw/Cameo: The default swimlanes in SysML Activity Diagrams are AllocateActivityPartition swimlanes with the «allocate» keyword applied.

AllocateActivityPartition::2_not_uml_semantics ... Classifiers or Properties represented by an «AllocateActivityPartition» do not have any direct responsibility for invoking behavior depicted within the partition boundaries. ...

AllocateActivityPartition::2_not_uml_semantics The «AllocateActivityPartition» shall maintain the constraints, but not the semantics, of the UML::ActivityPartition.

By all means use ActivityAllocatePartition swimlanes for CallBehaviorAction allocation in usage allocation mode, but use BDDs for your definition-level allocations with directly drawn «allocate» relationships between Activity and Block symbols.

MagicDraw/Cameo: In SysML Activity Diagrams you can only set the allocation mode in to 'usage' or 'definition' for an entire AllocateActivityPartition group at once, not for individual AllocateActivityPartition columns or rows.

... does not try to limit the use of the term “allocation,” but provides a basic capability to support allocation in the broadest sense. It does include some specific subclasses of allocation for allocating behavior, structure, and flows.

MagicDraw/Cameo: One can choose between 'usage' level or 'definition' level allocation modes on AllocateActivityPartition swimlanes. The setting always applies to all AllocateActivityPartition items in one Activity Diagram at once.

AVOID "mixed" functional (behavioral) allocation levels! DO NOT Allocate from Usage level (Action) to Definition level (Block) or from Definition level (Activity) to usage level (part Property) - even if formally permitted in SysML.

The allocation to Activity6 comes from a nested part, and uses the attributes of DirectedRelationshipPropertyPath to specify the path of properties to reach that part. The sourceContext of the allocation is Block4 and the sourcePropertyPath is (Part5).
