Chapter 6 Managing Objects

Creating a link object graphically

You can create link objects from the diagram window using the tools available in the diagram toolbar. When you create link objects from the diagram window, you drag the link object from its source object to its destination object.

Complete links

The Complete Links command available from the Tools menu allows you to display the symbols of links existing in the model. If you select objects in the diagram, the Complete Links command only applies to these objects.

Steps To create a link object graphically:

  1. Click a link object creation tool in the diagram toolbar.
  2. Click inside the source object and while continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag the cursor to the destination objects. Release the mouse button.

    A link object symbol is displayed between the two source and destination objects.
  3. Double-click the new link object symbol in the diagram to display the link object property sheet. It displays the definition of the selected link object.
  4. Type a link object name and code.
  5. Click OK.
