Defining associations

Displaying text in association symbols

You can define the following display preferences for an association:

Preference

Show name

Show constraints

Show role names

Name attached to its symbol

Multiplicity

Description

When selected, displays the name of the association

When selected, displays the constraints (business rules) of the association

When selected, displays the name of the association roles

When selected, the name of the role remains attached to it when it is moved. When not selected, role name can be moved anywhere in the model

Displays the cardinality of the relationship. You can choose between showing the actual number of instances (String)or the symbol at the end of the relationship (Symbol)

You modify the display preferences for an association in the Display

Preferences dialog box.

ϖTo modify the association display preferences:

1Select Tools➤ Display Preferences. or

Right-click the diagram background and select Display Preferences from the contextual menu.

The Display Preferences dialog box appears.

2Expand the Object View node in the Category list.

3Select Association.
