Creating an Extended Dependency

The object from which you create the extended dependency is the dependent object and the object towards which it goes is the influent object.

Note:

Extended dependencies behave like oriented links. When you move the dependent object, you also move the extended dependency attached to it. And when you move the influent object, it is replaced with a shortcut to preserve the extended dependency definition.

Creating an Extended Dependency Using the Link/Extended Dependency Tool
Note that the Link/Extended Dependency tool cannot create an extended dependency between objects belonging to different types of models as these cannot have symbols in the same diagram.
Creating an Extended Dependency from the Dependent Object Property Sheet
You can create an extended dependency from a dependent object property sheet.
