Hi, folks!
suppose in a use case we have to redirect to another use case, not from the beginning, but from some step later, how to show it in sequence diagram?
this is not include, I think.

Use the extend relationship. Extends means that under certain circumstance a use case uses another use case.

Thanks for reply!
my question is, under some condition, one use case will execute only part of the other use case.
for example, there are two use case,
A:1.do a1
2.do a2
3.go to use case B step 2
B:1.do b1
2.do b2
3.do b3
how should I show it in my sequence diagram?
Mayby from use case good practice point of view, we should modify our use case so that such situation not happen.
Thanks!

I would suggest you break down your sequence diagram.
