Instance Link Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open an instance link property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Instance Links folder.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name

Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users. Calculated, read-only value.

Code

Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts. Calculated, read-only value.

Comment

Descriptive comment for the object.

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of the object beyond the core UML definition.

Object A

Name of the object at one end of the instance link. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create an object, browse the complete tree of available objects or view the properties of the currently selected object.

Object B

Name of the object at the other end of the instance link. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create an object, browse the complete tree of available objects or view the properties of the currently selected object.

Association

Association between classes (or association between a class and an interface) that the instance link uses to communicate between objects of these classes. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create an object, browse the complete tree of available objects or view the properties of the currently selected object

For more information on the different ways to modify the instance link properties, see "Object Properties" in the Objets chapter of the Core Features Guide.
